ABOUT THE WIRELESS BARRICADE ROUTER

Congratulations on your purchase of the Wireless Barricade™ Broadband Router. SMC is proud to provide you with a powerful yet simple communication device for connecting your local area network (LAN) to the Internet.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION !

For DSL-User without a flat rate contract.

With your DSL-router you have received a device of high quality, which allows you fast and easy access to the Internet.

The factory default settings of this router have been done in a way to provide you with uninterrupted access and use of the Internet. With this background for cost reasons we recommend that you enter into a "flat rate" - contract with your DSL-line provider.

Why should you do that?

Please consider that a router, an entirely independent working device, does not switch off automatically when shutting off your PC!

You may trigger such an automatic shut-off by setting a so called "idle-time" (for details consult your manual at PPPoE or PPTP WAN access configuration). Depending at the set time (1 to 5 min) the router cuts the DSL-link when idle, indeed. But this still does not provide for 100% security.
