The router also features a firewall to protect you from malicious software that can attack your computer from the Internet, making it an excellent choice for your home network.
Simple Installation
The setup wizard utility makes installation a breeze, even for novice users. This makes it an excellent starting point for setting up a home network.
Integrated Firewall
The router features a powerful firewall to help protect your computer against malicious attacks that often target computers connected to the Internet, giving you peace of mind while you are connected to the web.
QoS Support
The router allows advanced users to configure its QoS functionality.
