The DI-524 router offers a maximum wireless signal rate of up to 54Mbps through its wireless channels, allowing streaming videos and other high bandwidth applications such as on-line gaming and video clips to operate without the hassle of Ethernet cables. The ability to handle high bandwidth applications also makes streaming real time programs more enjoyable and more efficient.
The DI-524's built-in firewall makes it more difficult for hackers to penetrate your network. Firewall features include functions to allow or disallow certain ports to be open for certain applications. Time scheduling can be applied to the firewall rules to have specific ports open at certain times and to be closed at other times. Features like content filtering, MAC filtering, URL blocking, and domain blocking are useful tools to prevent unwanted intruders from connecting to your network or browsing restricted sites.
