Infected Device Prevention and Blocking: Prevents compromised devices from communicating with malicious servers and potentially infecting other devices on your network.
Virtual Patch: Protects vulnerable devices by blocking exploit attempts before security updates are available.
MAC Filter: Controls device access to your network based on MAC addresses.
WPA3 Encryption: The latest Wi-Fi security protocol ensures robust protection for your wireless network.
VLAN*: Allows for network segmentation, isolating potentially vulnerable devices.
IoT Network: Set up and manage all your IoT devices under one secure SSID to provide enhanced security with commercial-grade protection.
VPN Network: Connect to your preferred VPN service with a single click through a dedicated sub network.
Kid's Network: Create a dedicated SSID just for the kids to easily manage their screen time without needing to configure each device individually.
