The PLANET Wired ADSL 2/2+ Router, the
ADE-4400, provides office and residential users
the ideal solution for sharing a High-Speed ADSL 2/2+ broadband Internet connection on
the 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Interface. It can support downstream transmission rates up
to 24Mbps and upstream transmission rates up to 3.5Mbps. The product supports PPPoA
(RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516), and RFC
1483 encapsulation over ATM (MER, bridged or routed) to establish a connection with ISP.
Via the user-friendly management interface, the
ADE-4400 can be managed by
workstations running standard web browsers. Furthermore, the device provides DHCP
server, NAT, Virtual Server, DMZ, access control, IP filter, VPN Pass-Through, and UPnP

The device also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from being
accessed by outside users. It provides the natural firewall function (Network Address
Translation, NAT). All incoming and outgoing IPs are monitored and filtered by this product.
In addition, it can be configured to block internal users from accessing to the Internet.
