BinTec X 2302w - wireless router

The BinTec X2302w is a fully equipped, flexible IP router with an integrated ADSL modem, a wireless interface and a 4-port switch. The X2302w supports the ADSL2 and ADSL2+ standards. ADSL2 makes download rates of up to 12 Mbps possible. ADSL2+ raises this figure to an impressive 24 Mbps. The upload rate for the router is up to 12 Mbps. The BinTec X2302w combines the features of the BinTec X2302 ADSL router with WLAN capability and allows a broad range of application for wired and wireless access. The wireless interface uses the 802.11g (max. 54 Mbps) standard to transmit data and is compatible with the slower 802.11b variant in the same frequency range (max. 11 Mbps). The BinTec X2302w is equipped with an integrated ADSL modem according to Annex-A or Annex-B. With support for IPSec (2 active tunnels from the factory), the router is able to establish secure VPN connections. 3DES or AES is used for encryption, authentication can be provided with pre-shared keys or certificates. In addition, the router offers IPSec data compression (IPComp) and support NAT-Traversal. The router is able to work with a Radius server and is equipped to execute not only PPP authentication, but login and IPSec partner authentication as well. To find partners using dynamic IP addresses, the router supports the DynDNS function. Seven providers are already pre-selected. Thanks to the implementation of five protocols, however, the router is compatible with all the leading European DynDNS providers. Instead of working with packet filtering only, the routers in the BinTec X230x family are also equipped with a full-fledged stateful inspection firewall (SIF), in which more than 70 services are already pre-configured. This router operates not only as PPPoE client, but as PPPoE server as well. This makes it possible to assign different privileges to individual users in the network. Combined with the scheduling function, it is also possible to individually stipulate the times at which different users are permitted access to the Internet. The VLAN function - another innovation in this router class - distributes users into virtual sub-networks, thus limiting broadcast domains and increasing network security yet again.
