ADSL WIRESPEED PRO™ PROXY ROUTER USER GUIDE

WIRESPEED PRO™ PROXY ROUTER OVERVIEW

WireSpeed Pro is the perfect solution for a low cost multi-user residential or small business network. Westell’s WireSpeed Pro provides multiple users with reliable, high-speed, Internet access for home or office. With Westell’s WireSpeed Pro, you won’t need additional phone or data lines. The WireSpeed Pro converts an existing phone line into a dedicated, high-speed connection ending the inconvenience of dial-up modems and busy signals. Unlike traditional analog modems, multiple users can share the same phone line for simultaneous voice/fax communications and high-speed Internet access. WireSpeed Pro’s downstream data rates of 8 Mbps and upstream rates of 800 kbps, may be up to 140 times faster than a 56K analog modem.

With WireSpeed Pro, you’ll never be out of date. WireSpeed Pro is factory-configured with Westell's popular WebShare networking software. Our latest generation of WebShare software implements new features like an integrated firewall and VPN support. With easy downloads from Westell’s WebStore, you’ll be able to upgrade your WebShare software to take advantage of the latest innovations and features from Westell.

The WireSpeed Pro uses the widely popular Point to Point Protocols (PPPoA and PPPoE) to connect to your Internet service provider (ISP). LAN network setup is a breeze with Network Address Translation (NAT) and Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP). With NAT, the Internet sees your Westell WireSpeed Pro as a single IP address. This hides the IP addresses of the PCs on the LAN from the Internet and provides a simple form of network security. With DHCP, WireSpeed Pro automatically assigns an IP address to each PC on the network, removing the chore of local IP address management.
