Section 1 - Product Overview

Introduction

The D-Link 3.75G mobile communication device allows users to access worldwide mobile broadband networks.

Once connected, users can transfer data, stream media, send SMS messages, and make mobile phone calls.

Simply insert your UMTS/HSUPA SIM card, and share your 3G Internet connection through a secure 802.11n

wireless network or using any of the four 10/100 Ethernet ports.

While accessing your 3G Internet connection, you will still have the ability to answer incoming mobile calls and

respond to SMS messages. An RJ-11 jack allows you to attach a standard analog phone for high-quality mobile

calls over a GSM network. Enjoy the comfort and convenience of your favorite office phone anywhere you go.

Keep your wireless network safe with WPA/WPA2 wireless encryption. The DWR-512 utilizes dual-active firewalls

(SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks across the Internet, and includes MAC address filtering to control access

to your network.

The 3.75G Mobile communication device can be installed quickly and easily almost anywhere. This router is great

for situations where an impromptu wireless network must be set up, or wherever conventional network access is

unavailable. The DWR-512 can even be installed in buses, trains, or boats, allowing passengers to check e-mail or

chat online while commuting.
