The Barricade Broadband Router is the first router in its class to offer
an integrated Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall. This firewall
provides protection against hacker invasions, such as Denial of Service
(DoS) attacks by analyzing individual data packets, as they pass through
the Barricade, to ensure that only authorized packets are allowed access
to the network. To control network access, parents or business owners
can block certain web sites by entering either a URL address or just a
keyword of the web site. In addition to these incredible features, this
latest addition to the Barricade family provides hacker prevention and
logging functionalities. For example, when a hacker attempts to access
your network, the Barricade can alert you via email so you can take
appropriate action.
The Barricade Router supports Network Address Translation (NAT) to
provide connectivity simultaneous Internet access for up to 253 PC's
using a single purchased IP address. To manage these connections, the
