Key Features

Nexland's ISB product line has a comprehensive list of features not found in competing products, so if you're a gadget-freak as the author of this article you'll appreciate the extensive capabilities and the long list of configuration options the browser interface provides.

Networking

The ISB-SOHO includes a 4-port full-duplex switch, capable of 200MBps throughput on all 4 LAN ports. The WAN interface is capable of 8MBps bi-directional throughput, which is more than enough for current residential broadband connections, and much higher than competing products.

Security

The unit passed all our security tests with flying colors, effectively guarding your LAN from any intrusion by default. Even more importantly, it enables you to configure per-port special applications, custom Virtual servers and Access Filters for different Groups of PCs. All this is vital for effectively tailoring a larger LAN with various needs.

Here are a few more related screenshots from ISB-SOHO's Browser Interface:

12. Virtual Servers

13. Custom Virtual Servers

14. Exposed Host (DMZ)

Some other Notable Features of the unit include:

• Browser-configurable MAC address, host and domain names - those features make it compatible with virtually any ISP. Even if your provider has your service bound to the hardware MAC address of the Ethernet card (NIC) in your PC, you simply need to plug-in the number in the unit's browser interface.
• Configurable MTU - you can even control packet size !
• IP-range based external access.
• DMZ - One exposed host, with two-way unlimited access
• VPN Pass through - Single Session IPSec & L2TP (multi-session in the Pro Line), Multi-Session PPTP

Have the related Pro-400 model for 4 years now; excellent reliable and FAST router. The speed is maintained even when all four ports are processing lots of data simultaniously.

But where to buy now in 2006 is the question.
