How will I be notified of new router firmware upgrades?
All Multi-Tech firmware upgrades are posted on the Multi-Tech Web site at www.multitech.com, where
they can be downloaded for free.
Your Router does NOT need the latest firmware upgrade if your Internet connection is already
successful, as firmware upgrades will not increase your connection speed or enhance your Router’s
performance.
Does the Router support IPsec?
The RF560VPN supports IPsec endpoint/gateway.
What type of firewall is the router equipped with?
The Router uses NAT.
I am not able to get my e-mails or my ISP Web page (e.g., http://www.isp.com/). What can I do?
Contact the ISP to get the full URL, or you can do the following:
1.
Connect one of the computers directly to the cable modem or DSL modem.
2.
Open a command prompt and ping the ISP web server or mail server name given. For example,
at the command prompt, type in ping www and press Enter. You should be able to get an IP
address when it responds.
3.
After you get the IP address, enter the IP address on the mail server option.
