D-Link's DI-711 allows several computers on a wireless LAN to share a single Internet connection while it provides the safety and security of port blocking, packet filtering, and a natural firewall. Static address support, integrated DHCP, PPPoE and device name support will allow it to connect to nearly any broadband provider, whether Ethernet cable or DSL-based, while simplifying settings for the local area network.

Protection From Hackers
The DI-711 provides two levels of security support. First, it masks local users' IP addresses from others on the Internet, making it much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. Second, the DI-711 blocks outgoing ports unless required by applications specified in the Virtual Server settings.

Dynamic Support For Multiple Protocols
The DI-711 provides special pass-through support for common VPN implementations, including PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol), L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol), and IPSec. The Virtual Server feature allows the user to expose HTTP, FTP, game servers and other local services to Internet users located outside of the LAN. A DMZ setting can be applied to a single client behind the DI-711 to expose it to the Internet and ensure complete Internet application compatibility, even if specific ports are not known.

Continually On The Job
Unlike a proxy server or NAT software that requires the software server to remain visible on the Internet, no local computers are externally visible when using the DI-711. Also the DI-711, like broadband, is always on, removing the need to constantly boot a software server when access is desired from a client.

Instant Connectivity
The integrated DHCP feature allows up to 252 users to get their IP addresses automatically each time a computer boots up the DI-711. With this feature, computers do not require additional software when connected to receive an IP address and instantly connect to the local network.
