QoS Engine
The QoS Engine allows users to manage network traffic by assigning priority levels to connected devices. This ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth. Users can view connected clients, identify heavy consumers of internet bandwidth, and assign priority levels such as Normal/High or Low. The system also provides traffic statistics, including TCP flow, UDP flow, download, and upload speeds, as well as real-time and weekly traffic data.
Firewall
The integrated firewall protects the network from malicious internet attacks. Users can configure firewall settings, including enabling or disabling features like Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) for IPv4, Anti-Spoof Checking, and IPv6 security features. The firewall also supports Application Level Gateway (ALG) configurations for protocols like PPTP, IPSec (VPN), RTSP, and SIP, which provide special handling for specific network protocols and applications.
Port Forwarding
Port forwarding enables users to direct specific network traffic to designated devices on the local network. This is useful for applications that require external access, such as hosting services or gaming. Users can configure rules for both TCP and UDP ports, specify external and internal ports, and set schedules for when these rules are active. The virtual server feature allows for redirection of public ports to internal LAN IP addresses and private LAN ports.
Static Routes
Static Routes allow for custom configuration of network traffic flow. Users can define routes for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, specifying destination networks, subnet masks, gateways, metrics, and interfaces. This feature enables users to override default routing tables and direct traffic to specific clients or locations, enhancing network control and performance.
Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) allows users to access their network using a domain name, even when their public IP address changes. This is particularly helpful for users running virtual servers or accessing their network remotely. Users can enable the DDNS feature, select a DDNS server, and enter their registered host name, username, and password to link a domain name to their dynamic IP address.
