Introduction to your Router

The BiPAC 7700N is an ADSL2+ Router that offers users affordable expanded wireless coverage
and speedy Internet connection. With an integrated 802.11n Access Point, the BiPAC 7700N can
automatically adopt an optimal connection to deliver smooth, constant signal reception even if
obstacles are present. Robust Firewall security is featured to protect Internet access against hacker
attacks. The Quality of Service and VLAN enables intelligent steaming for HD video or multiple
applications such as music downloads, online gaming, video streaming and file sharing
simultaneously.
Optimal Wireless Speeds and Coverage
With an integrated 802.11n Wireless Access Point, this router supports a data rates up to 300Mbps
and delivers up to 6 times the speed and 3 times the wireless coverage of an 802.11b/g network
device. If the network requires wider coverage, the built-in Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
repeater function allows users to expand the wireless network without the need for any external
wires or cables.
Jitter-free, Reliable Net Traffic
Quality of Service (QoS) gives full control over outgoing data traffic. Priority can be assigned by the
router to ensure that important transmissions like gaming packets, VoIP calls or IPTV / streaming
content passes through the router at lightning speed, even when there is heavy Internet traffic. The
VLAN support is also capable of establishing reliable high-speed transmissions for wide bandwidth
applications such as IPTV, VOD, or online gaming without consuming bandwidth.
High-speed Internet Access
The BiPAC 7700N is compliant with worldwide ADSL standards, and supports download rates of up
to 12 / 24Mbps using ADSL2 / 2+, 8Mbps using ADSL and an upload rate of up to 1Mbps. The
integrated Annex M standard supports ADSL2 / 2+ for higher uploads by doubling the upload data
rate. The 4-port Ethernet Switch incorporated into the BiPAC 7700N enables users to connect to
multiple computers or wired-Ethernet devices easily and enjoy blistering LAN transmission for
multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, IPTV video streaming and real-time audio.
VLAN MUX
A Virtual LAN, commonly known as a VLAN, is a group of hosts with the common set of requirements
that communicate as if they were attached to the same broadcast domain, regardless of the physical
location. A VLAN has the same attributes as a physical LAN, but it allows for end stations to be
grouped together even if they are not located on the same network switch.
he most commonly used Virtual LAN is defined by 802.1Q tagging protocol, which expended the
T
original Ethernet frame header to include VLAN ID (tag) and priority bits. With the support of
network equipments, multiple virtual networks can coexist over the same physical network. Ethernet
frames are used to transfer data over ADSL line when bridging, MER or PPPoE mode is used.
While the DSL connection we usually configured is to use a PVC match a single service, PPPoE
PPPoA, bridging, etc. With the VLAN tag, we can make virtual interfaces to create multiple separate
WAN connections within the same PVC. It allows multiple services over the same PVC. The VLAN
Mux feature is designed for this purpose. For example, you have an ATM interface, PVC with
