Before You Use

Before You Use
Thank you for purchasing a NetComm ADSL2+ Modem Router. NetComm brings you the Next
Generation of ADSL technology with ADSL2+*, which boosts ADSL's performance, improves
interoperability, and supports new applications, services and deployment conditions.
NetComm's implementation of ADSL2+* ensures that your Router operates with existing ADSL services
while delivering optimal performance in all modes of operation. Powered by the latest Broadcom
ADSL2+* chipset, NetComm's Router provides downstream data rates of up to 24Mbps in ADSL2+*
mode ensuring that you can surf the net or download your files quicker than ever before.
Security is a key issue with Broadband users and NetComm's Routers do not leave you exposed. Your
new Router has a built-in firewall to ensure your defences are rock-solid against hackers, unauthorised
entries, probes and even Denial of Service attacks. What's more, your Router is equipped with a VPN
pass-through feature allowing you to use a standard VPN client for Point-to-Point communication even
while your Firewall is active.
NetComm's NB6 Series Routers deliver the connection versatility needed to cater for today's ADSL
users. Simply attach to a single PC using the Ethernet port (recommended) or USB port (not available
for NB6Plus4 or NB6Plus4Wn). Alternatively, should you wish to share your Internet connection, the
device is equipped with an in-built Router and one or four Ethernet ports for connection to a network.
If you have the NB6W, NB6Plus4W or NB6Plus4Wn router you can also share your Internet connection
wirelessly.
Added to this, the Router introduces a QoS (Quality of Service) feature that gives you control over
which types of data are given priority by the Router.
* Your ISP must support and provide you with an ADSL-2 or ADSL-2+ service for these features to be
available. This product will operate as a standard ADSL Router when an ADSL-2 service is not
available.
This reference manual assumes that the reader has an installed Ethernet card in the computer to be
connected and has basic to intermediate computer and Internet skills. However, basic Computer
Networking, Internet, and Firewall technology information is available from the NetComm Web site.
