Thank you for the detailed, illustrated answer WeiMing. This is exactly what I needed to know. Based on this information and a very positive assessment of the router from Michael Horowitz at routersecurity.org I will be purchasing one of these devices.
Forgive the bandwidth and fan-boy talk, but…
Unit received, installed, and functioning perfectly. Configuration was a breeze: I did it a 2AM last night after a full day’s work and a 6 hour ride home on a motorcycle, underscoring how intuitive the web interface is. In particular I’m impressed that I don’t have to reboot the thing for the smallest configuration change. The status and bandwidth pages tell me all the admin info I need clearly and concisely. I’m really impressed with this device already after only 13 hours of up-time.
The capability described above and from which the screenshot was taken) was not loaded into the unit I purchased. My unit has 6.2.1 - build 1757 installed. I have tried to download and install the latest version - v6.3 - build 1967. It installs, and the configuration looks good. I rebooted the unit and it comes up and runs, but I can’t connect to the Internet. I uploaded my saved configuration for good measure, but the unit still will not allow me to connect out to the Internet in any way. There seems to be network activity on my machine per the connection status dialog, but I can’t get out.
I have had to reboot with 6.2.1 in order to get connected again (obviously successfully).
I found online that there is actually a version 6.3.1 available (the device only identified 6.3.0 available). I have installed that, and the device is working. I have invited the support team to close the ticket.
