1-1CHAPTER 1INTRODUCTIONCongratulations on your purchase of the Barricade™ N Draft 11n Wireless 4-port Broadband Router (SMCWBR14S-N). We are proud to provide you with a powerful yet simple communication device for connecting your local area network (LAN) to the Internet. For those who want to surf the Internet in the most secure way, this router provides a convenient and powerful solution.About the BarricadeThe Barricade provides Internet access to multiple users by sharing a single-user account. This new technology provides many secure and cost-effective functions. It is simple to configure and can be up and running in minutes.The Barricade is compliant with the next generation IEEE 802.11n draft v2.0 specification while maintaining full backwards compatibility with the IEEE 802.11b/g standards. This next generation wireless networking standard utilizes advanced MIMO (multiple-in, multiple-out) technology to deliver incredible speed and range. With wireless speeds up to 300Mbps - five times faster than 802.11g, the SMCWBR14S-N provides sufficient bandwidth to stream HD video, listen to digital music, play online games, transfer large files, make VoIP calls and surf the Internet simultaneously.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS1-2Features and Benefits• IEEE802.11n draft v2.0 compliant• Wireless speeds up to 300 Mbps• Increased speed and coverage - up to 5 times the speed of IEEE 802.11g• Fully backwards compatible with 802.11b/g wireless networks• Allows you to stream HD video, listen to digital music, play online games, transfer large files, make VoIP calls and surf the Internet simultaneously• Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) for wireless quality-of-service• Local network connection via a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port• DHCP for dynamic IP configuration, and DNS for domain name mapping• Firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection, client privileges, intrusion detection, and NAT• NAT also enables multi-user Internet access via a single user account, and virtual server functionality (providing protected access to Internet services such as web, FTP, email, and Telnet)• VPN transparent pass-through (IPSec-ESP Tunnel mode, L2TP, PPTP)• User-definable application sensing tunnel supports applications requiring multiple connections• Easy setup through a web browser on any operating system that supports TCP/IP• Compatible with all popular Internet applications

INTRODUCTION1-3ApplicationsMany advanced networking features are provided by this Barricade:• Wired and Wireless LANThe Barricade provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps devices, and wireless connection speed up to 300 Mbps. This router is fully compliant with specifications defined in IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n draft v2.0 standards, making it easy to create a network in small offices or homes.• Internet AccessThis device allows you to share your Cable/xDSL Internet connection. Since many ADSL providers use PPPoE to establish communications with end users, the Barricade includes a built-in client for this protocol, eliminating the need to install these services on your computer.• Shared IP AddressThe Barricade provides Internet access for up to 253 users via a single shared IP address. Using only one ISP account, multiple users on your network can browse the web at the same time.•Virtual ServerIf you have a fixed IP address, you can set the Barricade to act as a virtual host for network address translation. Remote users access various services at your site using a constant IP address. Then, depending on the requested service (or port number), the Barricade can route the request to the appropriate server (at another internal IP address). This secures your network from direct attack by hackers, and provides more flexible management by allowing you to change internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to your network.

APPLICATIONS1-4• DMZ Host SupportAllows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet. This function is used when NAT and firewall security prevent an Internet application from functioning correctly.• SecurityThe Barricade supports security features that deny Internet access to specified users, or filter all requests for specific services that the administrator does not want to serve. The Barricade’s firewall also blocks common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. WPA/WPA2, IEEE802.1x, WEP, SSID, and MAC filtering provide security over the wireless network.• Virtual Private Network (VPN Pass-through)The Barricade supports three of the most commonly used VPN protocols – PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec. These VPN protocols are transparent pass-through. The protocols supported by the Barricade are briefly described below.• Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol – Provides a secure tunnel for remote client access to a PPTP security gateway. PPTP includes provisions for call origination and flow control required by ISPs.• L2TP merges the best features of PPTP and L2F – Like PPTP, L2TP requires that the ISP’s routers support the protocol.• IP Security – Provides IP network-layer encryption. IPSec can support large encryption networks (such as the Internet) by using digital certificates for device authentication.

2-1CHAPTER 2INSTALLATIONBefore installing the Barricade, verify that you have all the items listed under “Package Contents.” If any of the items are missing or damaged, contact your local distributor.
