WIRESPEED MODEM USER GUIDE

OVERVIEW

With over one million Westell WireSpeed (TM) modem users and valuable experience, Westell has developed our newest Westell WireSpeed ADSL Ethernet modem. Westell's WireSpeed ADSL Ethernet modem uses existing home or office phone lines to provide reliable, high speed internet access. With your WireSpeed ADSL modem, an existing phone line becomes a dedicated "always on" connection, eliminating annoying dial-up modems and busy signals from your service provider. Westell's WireSpeed ADSL Ethernet modem is capable of downstream data rates of up to 8 Mbps and upstream data rates of up to 800 Kbps, making the WireSpeed ADSL Ethernet modem up to 140 times faster than a 56 Kbps analog modem.

In addition to the many features Westell users have enjoyed through the years, we have added our new Auto- Redirection feature which guides users through the connection process via a simple web interface. In addition, we have embedded a PPPoE shim in our modem so you no longer have to install any other software to get connected. We have also added VPN support via PPTP so that you can tunnel into your corporate network as well as true “Always-On" which enables you to save your session password. In addition to these new features, your Westell WireSpeed ADSL Ethernet modem is software upgradeable so that as your home or small office needs change, you can upgrade your existing hardware to a networking solution with our widely popular WebShare networking software.
