Hardware Description
The BLW-03FA Broadband Router may be connected to the Internet or to a remote site
using its RJ-45 WAN port. It may be connected directly to your PC or to a local area
network using any of the three 10/100 autosensing switch ports.
These RJ-45 ports auto-negotiate the operating speed (10/100 Mbps) and the duplex
mode (half/full duplex).
Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Full-rate symmetric Digital
Subscriber Line (ADSL) provides up to 8 Mbps downstream and 640 Kbps upstream;
G.lite (or splitterless) ADSL provides up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 Kbps
upstream; Cable modems provide up to 36 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream.
However, you should note that the actual rate provided by specific service providers may
vary dramatically from these upper limits.
Though Internet access speed is determined by the modem type connected to your BLW-
03FA, data passing between devices connected to your local area network can run up to
100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports.
The BLW-03FA includes LED indicators on the front panel that simplify installation and
network troubleshooting
