  • Page 6: Introduction

    Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of your new AirLive WN-151ARM. This device is an all-in-one device that combines the function of high-speed DSL modem, wireless-N access point and a single port Ethernet router. It supports the latest ADSL2+ standard and allows you to access the Internet and surf the Web at double the speed previously available through ADSL2.
