Overview
The VSG1435-B101 is a VDSL2 router and Gigabit Ethernet gateway
with Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HPNA) capability, a four-port
built-in Ethernet switch and IEEE 802.11n wireless. The VSG1435-B101
allows wired and wireless clients to safely access the Internet. The built-
in firewall blocks unauthorized access to your network. The USB port
allows you to connect USB memory stick or USB hard drive for storing or
sharing files through the network. Other helpful features include Quality
of Service (QoS) which allows time-sensitive services and applications to
flow more smoothly.

socket to an appropriate power source. Make sure the power at the
outlet is on. After connecting the power adaptor, look at the lights on
the front panel.
