The WL-530g integrated the ACL (access control list) functions, permitting users to connect to broadband Internet through the wireless router without worries. On top of WEP (wired equivalent privacy) encoded technology, the WL-530g also included the next-generation WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi-Protected Access-Preshared Keys) and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) for those who demand state-of-the-art network security. Besides the NAT (network address translation) firewall, which keeps internal addresses hidden from the outside, the WL-530g also provides SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection), an even more powerful firewall system.
