Introduction 

The RTA04W is a router with wireless local area network (WLAN) function. It is a high integrated 

residential broadband access device, which provides one ADSL2+ RJ11 interface, four built-in 

Ethernet interfaces, and one wireless access point. The RTA04W is fully compliant with ADSL/2/2+ 

standards. The Ethernet interface complies with IEEE802.3/802.3u standards, and the WLAN 

interface complies with IEEE802.11b/g standards. This device provides high performance access to 

Internet, downstream up to 24Mbps and upstream up to 1Mbps. 

Computers on the LAN side can share the Internet access through the Ethernet interface or 

wireless access point. These local computers can communicate and share resources and files with 

each other when the RTA04W is connected to the Internet with DSL line.  

 

Support up to 8 permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) 

 

Provide one RJ11 interface and four built-in RJ45 interfaces 

 

IGMP Snooping and IGMP Proxy 

 

General IP: NAT, PAT, DHCP server, DHCP relay, and DNS relay 

 

Routing: Static routing, RIP V1 and V2 

 

Security: NAT, IP filtering, password authentication, and denial of service (DoS) 

 

Compatible with IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g
