ADSL

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is a broadband network technology that utilizes standard twisted-pair copper wire telephone lines to enable broadband high-speed digital data transmission and bandwidth hungry applications for business and residential customers.

ADSL routers and modems provide faster downloads and more reliable connectivity to the user without loss of quality or disruption of voice/fax telephone capabilities.

ADSL2+ provides a dedicated service over a single telephone line operating at speeds of up to 24Mbps downstream and up to 1Mbps upstream, depending on local telephone line conditions. A secure point-to-point connection is established between the user and the central office of the service provider.

D-Link ADSL devices incorporate the recommendations of the ADSL Forum regarding framing, data format, and upper layer protocols.
