Common connection types and their speed and security considerations are:
Broadband Internet. Your Internet connection speed is determined by your modem type,
•
such as ADSL or cable modem, as well as the connection speed of the sites to which you
connect, and general Internet traffic. ADSL and cable modem connections are
asymmetrical, meaning they have a lower data rate to the Internet (upstream) than from
the Internet (downstream). Keep in mind that when you connect to another site that also
has an asymmetrical connection, the data rate between your sites is limited by each
side's upstream data rate. A typical residential ADSL or cable modem connection
provides a downstream throughput of about 1 to 3 megabits per second (Mbps). Newer
technologies such as ADSL2+ and Fiber to the Home (FTTH) will increase the connection
speed to tens of Mbps.
Wireless. Your Wireless-N 150 Router Model WNR612v2 provides a wireless data
•
throughput of up to 150 Mbps. With the introduction of the newer WPA and WPA2
encryption and authentication protocols, wireless security is extremely strong.
To get the best performance, use RangeMax NEXT adapters such as the WN511B for
your computers. Although the wireless router is compatible with older 802.11b and
802.11g adapters, the use of these older wireless technologies in your network can result
