1. Introduction
1.1. Product Overview
The device is designed to provide a simple and cost-effective ADSL Internet connection for a
private Ethernet or IEEE 802.11n/ IEEE 802.11g/ IEEE 802.11b wireless network.
8level Wireless ADSL2+ Router AWRT-150 connects to an Ethernet LAN or computers via
standard Ethernet ports. TheADSL connection is made using ordinary telephone line with standard
connectors. Multiple workstations can be networked and connected to the Internet using a single
Wide Area Network (WAN) interface and single global IP address. The advanced security
enhancements, IP/MAC Filter, Application Filter and DNS Filter can help to protect your network
from potentially devastating intrusions by malicious agents from the outside of your network.
Quick Start of the Web-based Utility is supplied and friendly help messages are provided for the
configuration. Network and Router management is done through the Web-based Utility which can
be accessed through local Ethernet using any web browser.
ADSL
8level AWRT-150 supports full-rate ADSL2+ connectivity conforming to the ITU and ANSI
specifications. In addition to the basic DMT physical layer functions, the ADSL2+ PHY supports
dual latency ADSL2+ framing (fast and interleaved) and the I.432 ATM Physical Layer.
Wireless
In the most attentive wireless security, the Router provides multiple protection measures. It can be
set to turn off the wireless network name (SSID) broadcast so that only stations that have the SSID
can be connected. The Router provides wireless LAN 64/128-bit WEP encryption security,
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK authentication.
The 150Mbps Wireless ADSL2+ Router also provides a hardware WPS (Wi-Fi protected setup)
button, which helps you setup a secure wireless network in a snap. The button lets you activate the
