Overview

Thank you for purchasing the NetComm NB5Plus4/W ADSL/ADSL2 Modem Router. NetComm brings you the Next Generation of ADSL technology with ADSL-2*, which boosts ADSL’s performance, improves interoperability, and supports new applica- tions, services and deployment conditions.

NetComm’s implementation of ADSL-2* and ADSL-2+* ensures that the NB5Plus4/ W operates with existing ADSL services while delivering optimal performance in all modes of operation. Powered by the latest ADSL-2* TI chipset, NetComm’s NB5Plus4/W increases downstream data rates by up to 50% (12Mbps) and 100% (25Mbps) for ADSL2 Plus* mode ensuring that you can surf the net or download your files quicker than ever before.

Security is a key issue with Broadband users and NetComm’s NB5Plus4/W does not leave you exposed. Employing the latest Active Firewall technology, the NB5Plus4/ W checks every packet of data that comes in ensuring your defences are rock-solid against hackers, unauthorised entries, probes and even Denial of Service attacks.

What’s more, the NB5Plus4/W is equipped with a VPN pass-through feature allowing you to use a standard VPN client for Point-to-Point communication even while your Firewall is active.

The NB5Plus4/W delivers the connection versatility needed to cater for today’s ADSL users. You can simply attach the NB5Plus4/W to a single PC by using the USB port or Ethernet port. Alternatively, should you wish to share your Internet connection, the NB5Plus4/W is equipped with an in-built Router and four 10/100 Ethernet ports for connection to a network. If you have the NB5Plus4W modem, you can share your Internet connection wirelessly.

The NB5Plus4/W’s Port Forwarding and UPnP functions have made it easier for today’s Internet users to configure and setup the myriad of Network Port Rules needed by Internet applications such as On-Line Gaming, Peer-To-Peer file sharing and Messenger services to operate. NB5Plus4/W has a number of pre-configured rules for several games, just click on the game you wish to play on-line and the rest is done for you.

Added to this, the NB5Plus4/W introduces a QoS (Quality of Service) feature that gives you control over which types of outgoing data are given priority by the router. With QoS you can tailor your router settings to ensure that you can keep gaming or browsing even though your upstream bandwidth may be saturated by applications such as Peer-To-Peer file sharing.

*Your ISP must support and provide you with an ADSL-2 or ADSL-2+ service for these features to be available. This product will operate as a standard ADSL Modem Router when an ADSL-2 service is not available.

This reference manual assumes that the reader has an installed Ethernet card in the computer to be connected and has basic to intermediate computer and Internet skills. However, basic Computer Networking, Internet, and Firewall technology information is available from the NetComm Web site. See www.netcomm.com.au.
