Built-in Switch
The 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiating Ethernet ports allow the Prestige to detect the speed of
incoming transmissions and adjust appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data
transfer of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending
on your Ethernet network. The ports are also auto-crossover (MDI/MDI-X) meaning they
automatically adjust to either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable.
High Speed Internet Access
The Prestige supports transmission speeds of up to 100 Mbps downstream and 50 Mbps
upstream. Actual speeds attained depend on ISP DSLAM environment, and how your Prestige
is configured.
