3.1Introduction

The HN294d is an advanced ADSL router with several features and supported modes that make it ideal for advanced home networking. Most routers with similar features require complex configuration routines, but the HN294d offers a Configuration Wizard that enables you to easily configure the HN294d through a user friendly GUI. No special software is required on your PC to manage and operate the HN294d. All you need is a web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer or Netscape Communicator).

In the Configuration Wizard the user can select an ADSL-mode that fits his/her needs. There are currently five pre-defined ADSL-modes as shown in the table below where they are briefly described. The following “ADSL- mode” chapters give a deeper description of each of them.
