    Congratulations on the purchase of your new Wireless ADSL Router. The Wireless ADSL Router is a multi-function device providing the following services:  WBR-6601 Wireless ADSL2 + Modem Router  Shared Broadband Internet Access for all LAN users.

  • Page 6: Advanced Internet Functions

     Auto-detection of Internet Connection Method. In most situations, the Wireless ADSL Router can test your ADSL and Internet connection to determine the connection me- thod used by your ISP.  Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (ADSL port) connection, the Wireless ADSL Router supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection) and Fixed IP Address.

  • Page 7: Lan Features

    Introduction  Wireless MAC Access Control. The Wireless Access Control feature can check the MAC address (hardware address) of Wireless stations to ensure that only trusted Wireless Stations can access your LAN.  WPS Support. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) can simplify the process of connecting any device to the wireless network by using the push button configuration (PBC) on the Wire- less Access Point, or entering PIN code if there's no button.
