Broadband

Router

A ctiontec continues its string of impressive technological advances with the introduction of its next generation

Wireless Broadband Router. The First “Smart Home

Gateway”, the Wireless Broadband Router, packs in more features and performance capabilities that any other home router on the market. It is the first device to feature a dual-core, 64-bit processor that allows it to support home networking speeds up to 1 Gbps and permits digital entertainment and information content to be transmitted and distributed to multiple devices in the home over coaxial cable.

The First “Smart Home Gateway”

Actiontec’s next generation Wireless Broadband Router sets a new industry benchmark for performance. As a result, service providers can increase service speeds up to 1 Gbps to meet the needs of an increasingly sophisticated consumer market. Able to support multiple value-added, bandwidth-intensive applications, this router has become more than just a simple router. It can handle multiple high-throughput media streams simultaneously, including standard and HDTV-based video programming and feed personal video recording functionality from multiple HD set top boxes or other digital storage devices to multiple TVs in the house. It can also administrate most Internet activities including parental controls, online gaming, music, live sports, children’s entertainments and on demand movies. The Wireless Broadband router also supports

Ethernet and Wi-Fi as well as coax networking, and it allows telcos to assign bandwidth priorities for data, video on demand and voice over IP traffic to ensure quality of service in triple and quad play environments.

The Industry’s First Dual-core 64-bit Processor

Actiontec’s router features an advanced hardware design including an industry-first 64-bit, dual core processor. The

Model # MI424WR Rev. E router’s 64-bit architecture provides a substantial performance improvement over the 32-bit devices sold today. The router’s latest MIPS core offers further performance improvement and additional instructions for networking applications reducing the number of cycles needed for even greater CPU efficiency.

Additionally, the router features hardware-level Quality of

Service (QoS) with eight input channels and eight output channels. This innovative design frees the CPU for other bandwidth needs, and ensures that providers can deliver multiple high quality video streams without any dropped frames, frozen frames, or other performance issues that can degrade

IP video services.

Protection and Security

With all that data coming in, the security features had better be first rate, and the Wireless Broadband Router doesn’t disappoint. The router ships with wireless encryption using

WEP turned on by default and supports WPA and WPA2 encryptions. The router offers enterprise-level security, including a fully customizable firewall with Stateful Packet

Inspection, denial of service protection, content filtering, and intrusion detection to keep unwanted visitors from accessing the user’s network. The Wireless Broadband Router also offers

Parental control capabilities, including user-defined site blocking by URL and keyword, the ability to customize filtering policies for each computer, and user notification of attempted access to restricted sites.
