Hardware Description
The Barricade contains an integrated ADSL2+ modem and connects to
the Internet or to a remote site using its WAN port. This device can be
connected directly to your PC or to a local area network using any of the
four Fast Ethernet LAN ports.
Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Full-rate ADSL
provides up to 8 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream. G.lite (or
splitterless) ADSL provides up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 kbps
upstream. ADSL2+ Provides up to 24 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps
upstream. However, you should note that the actual rate provided by
specific service providers may vary dramatically from these upper limits.
Data passing between devices connected to your local area network can
run at up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports. Data rates up to
300 Mbps are possible with the 802.11n function enabled.
The Barricade includes an LED display on the front panel for system
power and port indications that simplifies installation and network
troubleshooting.
