Hardware Description
The ADSL Router contains an integrated ADSL modem and connects to
the Internet or to a remote site using its RJ-11 port. It can be connected
directly to your PC or to a local area network using the Fast Ethernet LAN
port. Also you can use the USB port for connecting you PC to the Internet
while retaining the RJ-45 LAN connection.
Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Full-rate ADSL
provides up to 8 Mbps downstream and 640 kbps upstream. G.lite (or
splitterless) ADSL provides up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 kbps
upstream. However, you should note that the actual rate provided by
specific service providers may vary dramatically from these upper limits.
