devices. The 802.11g standard supports data transfer rates of up to 54 Mbps. The wireless Router supports 64-
bit and 128-bit WEP encryption, WiFi Protected Access (WPA) and WPA2.
ADSL
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is a broadband network technology that utilises standard twisted-
pair copper wire telephone lines to enable broadband high-speed digital data transmission and bandwidth
hungry applications for business and residential customers.
ADSL routers and modems provide faster downloads and more reliable connectivity to the user without loss of
quality or disruption of voice/fax telephone capabilities.
ADSL2/2+ provides a dedicated service over a single telephone line operating at speeds of up to 24Mbps
downstream and up to 1Mbps upstream, depending on local telephone line conditions. A secure point-to-point
connection is established between the user and the central office of the service provider.
D-Link ADSL devices incorporate the recommendations of the ADSL Forum regarding framing, data format, and
upper layer protocols.
