• חומת אש של בדיקת חבילות סטטיסטיות (SPI): Monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic to prevent unauthorized access and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
• Network Address Translation (NAT): Hides your internal network IP addresses from the internet, providing an additional layer of security.
• MAC Address Control: Allows you to specify which devices can connect to your wireless network based on their unique MAC address.
• מעבר VPN: Enables secure Virtual Private Network connections through the router.

  • Try changing the wireless channel in the router's settings to avoid interference.
  • Check if MAC Address Filtering is enabled and if your device's MAC address is allowed.
• מהירות אלחוטית איטית:
  • Ensure your wireless devices support 802.11g for optimal speed.
  • Reduce interference by moving the router away from other electronic devices (cordless phones, microwaves).
