The DI-701 looks like your computer on the Internet to hackers and it hides your real computer. Like a decoy, it stays visible so any attacks will be directed at it. This may help prevent damage to your expensive computer as well as protect valuable personal information. By blocking ports that unscrupulous hackers use to penetrate a computer, the DI-701 will discourage a hacker from even attempting to break into your computer. Like a car or house alarm, the DI-701 will give you that added sense of security that petty thieves won t even try to break in.
Installation is simple.
Plus, the DI-701 will allow up to 32 simultaneous computers to connect to the Internet through the same ISP account. The DI-701 is an IEEE 802.3 Ethernet based Residential Gateway. The local port can be connected directly to a single computer to provide added security from hackers and others on the Internet or it can be connected to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet hub or switch to provide Internet Sharing and Firewall protection to a local area network. The global port can be connected to any Cable, DSL, or Broadband modem with an Ethernet port. The DI-701 provides two levels of security support.
