Chapter 1 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this outstanding 4 Ports ADSL2/2+ Router. This device is a Four Ports
Ethernet ADSL2/2+ Router combines an “Always-On” high speed Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
(ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+) connection to the Telephone Line, and four 10/100BASE-T Ethernet Switch
connection to a host PC or other Ethernet device to enable the widest array of host connectivity. This 4 Ports
ADSL2/2+ Router is specially designed for residential, industries and SOHO users.
ADSL2/2+ is a transmission technology used to carry user data over a single twisted-pair line between the
Central Office and the Customer Premises. The downstream data rates can go up to 24 Mbps and the
upstream data rates can go up to 1Mbps with length reach up to 22Kft. This asymmetric nature lends itself to
applications such as Internet access and video delivery.
With minimum setup, you can install and use the router within minutes.
