Reference Manual for the Model DM602 ADSL Modem

In Modem Device Mode, the modem operates like a DSL modem, passing all the Internet communications directly to your computer where you must then configure your settings and logon settings as needed.

In Router Device Mode, the modem provides limited router functionality which allows you to have the modem perform any logon steps your ISP may require. In this mode, it is also easier to configure your computer by taking advantage of the automatic configuration capabilities of DHCP which the router provides.

The Device Mode menu, shown in Figure 5-10, allows the configuration of modem in router mode or modem mode.
