Abstract
With the expansion of computer networks,the mobile terminal with wireless access capability experience a sharp increase in the number of wireless routers, especially low cost wireless routers are becoming very important network equipment. This paper designs a wireless router based on the ARM platform, the Linux system. First, there is a research and analysis on the working principle and implementation of Network Address Translation (NAT) technology. Then I study the IPTABLES components under the Linux system and use it when processing data packets which go into the chain and the table and finally using laptop with Ethernet card and the WIFI card to build the Linux operating system. Related routing forwarding rules are defined between the two cards and use IPTABLES to achieve a laptop as a wireless WIFI hotspot providing routing and network connections to other computer services. It…
