Actiontec continues its string of impressive
technological advances with the introduction of
its newest powerhouse, the Broadband Router.
The Broadband Router permits digital entertainment and
information content to be transmitted and distributed to
multiple devices in the home.
Ready for Triple Play Environments
A high-end CPU (capable of processing as much as 80
times the throughput as earlier-generation broadband
routers) makes it possible for the Broadband Router to
handle multiple high-throughput media streams
simultaneously, including standard and HDTV-based
video programming. Networks can be set up to feed
personal video recording functionality from a single set
top box or other digital storage device to any TV in the
house. The router also supports Ethernet 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 play environments.
Even Easier to Use
In an effort to make the Broadband Router as
uncomplicated as possible to deploy and use, the graphical
user interface was redesigned from the ground up. Now,
it’s a snap to check the status of the network or the
broadband connection’s IP address. Nearly all other
configuration options are one or two clicks away, and the
home page can be customized with specific Internet links
or other online services.

Protection and Security
With all that data coming in, the security features had
better be first rate, and the Broadband Router doesn’t
disappoint. It 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 Broadband Router also offers
Parental control capabilities, including user-defined site
blocking by URL, the ability to customize filtering policies
for each computer, and user notification of attempted
access to restricted sites.
