WZR2-G300N as a router?
« on: January 31, 2009, 09:16:18 PM »
   

Hi,

 

in our small company we have a Web server and a Mail server on our LAN.

We want the incoming traffic (from the Internet) to be routed to the right server.

Typically to program these rulesin the WZR2-G300N

 

From WAN:  port 80 => redirect to LAN address 10.1.1.5 (Web server)

From WAN:  port 25 => redirect to LAN address 10.1.1.6 (Mail server)

From WAN:  all others => block

 

Does the WZR2-G300N supports that kind of rules?

If no, is there another Buffalo product that does?

 

Thanks and regards

This router has a NAT table and you can forward the ports needed to the IP of your choice.  This router will work for your needs.

Paul,

 

thank you for your answer.

 

Being more experienced with other brands, could you please mention if there is any drawback by using the NAT table (port forwarding) in terms of performance? We have a true 100Mb optical fiber connection and we want to ensure the bandwidth won't suffer from the setup (in and out).

 

Moreover, is there a way in the configuration (or by login to the Linux box) to disable the wireless feature?

(thus using only the box as a pure router/firewall).

 

Thanks again,

 

  TC

   Yes, in the wireless config tab of the interface you can disable the wireless radio.
