URL Reputation
URL Reputation is a cloud-based technology to provide Threat Intelligence Service. This service adds an extra layer of security protection to LAN client for their online activities.
There are 82 categories in total, 10 of which are security-focused, providing comprehensive and up-to-date protection to your home network or office network.
The various categories cover network security, including malware, spyware, adware, parental control for child protection, business, social networking, and more to ensure a safe online environment while also boosting employee productivity and can reach efficient bandwidth management.
IP Reputation
Every communication over the internet involves IP addresses-source and destination. Cybercriminals often leverage known malicious IP addresses to carry out attacks using techniques like:
- Botnets
- TOR nodes and anonymous proxies
- Command-and-control (C2) servers
- Phishing servers
- DDoS attacks
Blocking communication with these harmful IPs is essential, but it requires dynamic, predictive intelligence-a challenge that static blocklists cannot meet. The IP Reputation Service solves this by providing real-time scoring and classification of IP addresses, enabling automatic blocking of:
- High-risk traffic
- Suspicious proxies
- Malware distributors
- IPs linked to recent malicious behavior
The system evaluates IPs across multiple criteria, including infection history, protocol usage, and attack frequency. Each IP is given a reputation score, which determines whether it should be trusted, monitored, or blocked outright.
Wi-Fi 7 Capacity
Wi-Fi 7 with advanced Multi-Link Operation (MLO) allows devices to leverage the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands simultaneously, unlike traditional WiFi, which can only transmit data on a single band at a time. This enables faster speeds, lower latency, and more reliable connections.
MLO improves speed, reliability, and reduces latency, which significantly benefits business applications such as video conferencing, large file transfers, and business-critical platforms, as it reduces congestion and ensures a more stable connection.
Wi-Fi 7
Wi-Fi 6
Multiple Resource Units (MRU) enhances the OFDMA technology first introduced in WiFi 6. In WiFi 6, each client is limited to a single Resource Unit, which may leave portions of the channel bandwidth underutilized. With WiFi 7 MRU, clients can be assigned multiple RUs concurrently, eliminating this restriction and enabling more efficient spectrum utilization. This ensures that more of the available spectrum is actively used, resulting in higher overall throughput and lower latency.
Wi-Fi 7
Wi-Fi 6
Zero-Wait DFS allows WiFi router to monitor radar signals on DFS channels without interrupting service. The wireless router features a dedicated 5G antenna for Zero-Wait DFS, enabling it to detect radar signals independently while maintaining active communication. When radar interference is detected, the router can quickly switch to a standby block that has already passed the CAC.
In the example below, the wireless device is operating on an 80 MHz block (Channels 52, 56, 60, 64). Once radar is detected on Channel 64, DFS rules require the entire block to be vacated. With Zero-Wait DFS, a standby block (Channels 100, 104, 108, 112) is ready, so the router can instantly switch, ensuring smooth service.
Stealth Security Protection with Port Knocking
DrayTek’s Port Knocking technology provides an advanced stealth security layer by keeping critical network services invisible to unauthorized users. Instead of exposing management ports or VPN services to the public internet, Port Knocking requires a predefined “knock” sequence before granting access, ensuring that only trusted users can find and use these services.
By integrating three key functions, Port Knocking delivers unmatched protection against port scanning, brute-force attacks, and unauthorized access
Port Redirection
- Hide your real service ports from the public internet.
- Redirect unauthorized requests to non-existent services, preventing detection.
Router Management Access
- Allow router management only through a secure internal server or after successful knocking.
- Eliminate exposure of the management interface to the open internet.
VPN Service Control (WAN Binding)
- Keep VPN services invisible and inaccessible until the correct knock sequence is received.
- Bind VPN availability to specific WAN interfaces and authorized IP addresses.
How It Works
- In normal state, all targeted ports remain closed and undetectable.
- After the correct knock sequence, selected ports open temporarily for authorized access.
- Once the time window expires, services return to hidden mode automatically.
With DrayTek Port Knocking, your network operates in stealth mode, invisible to attackers, yet instantly accessible to authorized administrators and remote users. This makes it an ideal solution for organizations demanding high security without sacrificing accessibility.
