Product Overview
Supported Features
The HG532d 300Mbps Wireless ADSL2+ Router (HG532d for short) is a high-speed wireless router
designed for home and small office use. This chapter describes the features supported by the HG532d.
High-Bandwidth DSL Connectivity
The HG532d incorporates a high-performance ADSL2+ processor and provides high-speed Internet
access and abundant services to be delivered through the digital subscriber line (DSL).
Routing
The HG532d supports routing. It can obtain an IP address through PPP dial-up or Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), which provides simultaneous access for multiple devices.
WLAN
The HG532d supports multiple WLAN protocols, including 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz). Adopting 802.11n
multiple-input multiple-output antennas (MIMO) technology, the HG532d delivers a wireless
transmission rate of up to 300Mbps with its dual antennas. In addition, the HG532d supports multiple
wireless encryption modes to provide a secure, reliable, and high-speed WLAN.
Bandwidth Control
The HG532d supports IP bandwidth control and allocates bandwidth to different computers within your
home based on Internet access requirements. Your family can then access the Internet, play online
games, and watch videos without interfering with each other.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup
You can set up wireless connections between the HG532d and Wi-Fi enabled devices by pressing the
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button.
WDS Wireless Bridging and Repeating
The wireless distribution system (WDS) function in wireless bridging or wireless repeating mode
enables you to set up wireless connections between wireless routers to implement large-scale WLAN
coverage.
PVC Automatic Tuning
The HG532d offers a permanent virtual circuit (PVC) for automatic tuning. It can automatically detect
the virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual channel identifier (VCI) for your area, eliminating all
configuration needs.
Firewall
The powerful built-in firewall effectively protects against viruses and malicious attacks.
ARP Attack Protection
You can bundle an IP address and MAC address bi-directionally, which effectively protects your LAN
from Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) attacks.
