    Chapter 1 Introduction The ADSL2+ Powerline Router provides home connectivity to an ADSL service provider network over an ADSL/Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) physical layer. The router can run upstream maximum transmission rates of 2Mbps and downstream maximum transmission rates of 24Mbps. The actual rate depends on the copper category of your telephone wire, distance from the central office and the type of ADSL2+ service subscribed.
