Preface
Thank you for placing your trust in this devolo product.
With the MicroLink dLAN ADSL Modem Router, you have chosen an ADSL
router that innovatively combines the functions and advantages of an ADSL
modem, a switch, a router and a dLAN adapter in a single device. This com-
bination makes it the optimal, user-friendly network and Internet access solu-
tion for small-office and home-office (SOHO) environments.
b
The router's ADSL modem provides satisfyingly fast Internet access:
Download speeds of up to 8 Mbps make transferring music files,
video material, graphics and other high-volume data a pleasure.
With upload speeds of up to 1 Mbps, you can easily send large e-mail
attachments quickly and at low cost.
b
It also serves as an optimal combination of Internet-access router and
network switch:
The router simplifies the installation of Internet access significantly,
as no special drivers are required for the connected individual com-
puters. The access protocol has been implemented in the router
itself.
The router functionality lets multiple users access the Internet at the
same time. DHCP automates the TCP/IP configuration of the con-
nected computers. The router can be configured conveniently using a
Web browser.
The integrated switch is the foundation for small networks. Up to four
computers can be connected simultaneously. Each of the four ports
can also be used as an uplink port to connect additional routers,
switches or hubs.
b
Thanks to its integrated dLAN technology, the device can use your house-
hold electrical wiring as a network:
PCs in different rooms or on different floors of a building can thus
communicate with other computers in the network and/or access the
DSL connection via your household wiring by adding further dLAN
adapters—without the need to lay network cables.
