Chapter 2. Product Overview

2.1 Overview of the Router

Thank you for choosing the

TD-W8910G 54M Wireless ADSL2+ Router

. The Router is designed

to provide a simple and cost-effective ADSL Internet connection for a private Ethernet or

802.11g/802.11b wireless network.

The Router is easy to use. The TD-W8910G connects to an Ethernet LAN or computers via

standard Ethernet ports. The ADSL connection is made using ordinary telephone line with

standard connectors. Multiple workstations can be networked and connected to the Internet using

a single Wide Area Network (WAN) interface and single global IP address. The advanced security

enhancements,

IP Filtering

and

MAC Filtering

can help protect your network from potentially

devastating intrusions by malicious agents from the outside of your network.

Parental Control

provides flexible access control so that parents or network administrators can establish restricted

access policies for children or staff.

The Router is easy to install and manage.

Quick Setup

of the Web-based Utility is supplied and

friendly help messages are provided for every step. Network and Router management is done

through the Web-based Utility which can be accessed through local Ethernet using any web

browser. Remote management is provided so that you may configure the Router through WAN

port by the use of any Web browser.

ADSL

The

TD- W8910G 54M Wireless

ADSL2+ Router

utilizes integrated ADSL2+ transceiver and high

speed MIPS CPU. The Router supports full-rate ADSL2+ connectivity conforming to the ITU and

ANSI specifications.

In addition to the basic DMT physical layer functions, the ADSL2+ PHY supports dual latency

ADSL2+ framing (fast and interleaved) and the I.432 ATM Physical Layer.

The

TD- W8910G 54M Wireless

ADSL2+ Router

is a complete plug-and-play solution. The Router

integrates 4-port switch, firewall and NAT-Router. Its design is dedicated to Small Office/Home Office

(SOHO) wireless network solutions.

Wireless

In the most attentive wireless security, the Router provides multiple protection measures. It can be

set to turn off the wireless network name (SSID) broadcast so that only stations that have the

SSID can be connected. The Router provides wireless LAN 64/128/152-bit WEP encryption

security, WPA/WPA2 and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK authentication, as well as TKIP/AES encryption

security.

The Router complies with the IEEE 802.11g/b standards so that wireless data transfer rate is up to

54Mbps. It adopts

2x to 3x eXtended Range

™

WLAN transmission technology

so that

transmission distance is 2-3 times of traditional IEEE 802.11g/b solutions. It is compatible with all

IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b products.
