6212-A2 and 6382-A1 ADSL Router User’s Guide
1. Introduction Congratulations on becoming the owner of a 6212 or 6382 router. Your LAN (Local Area Network) will now be
able to access the Internet via the router’s ADSL connection.
This User Manual will show you how to set up the 6212 or 6382 router, and how to customize its configuration to get the
most out of this product.
1.1 Features & System Requirements

for information coming from the Internet to your PC (“downstream”) than it does for information going to the
Internet from your PC (“upstream”).
