About the Barricade™ Router

This disconnect only happens if there are no more open requests received from either the LAN or the WAN side (here this can be requests from the internet, i.e. initiated through the use of so called file sharing programs like eMule, eDonkey, etc.) that keep the router active.

In order to counter such incalculable activity and protect yourself from higher than expected on-line costs we therefore recommend again a flat-rate contract for your DSL-connection.

The only safe alternative: Pull the plug!

That is to disconnect your router from the mains.

Please feel free to contact our SMC-hotline if you have further questions.

**Flat-rate is an offer of your DSL-line provider, which gives you timely unlimited access to the Internet at a defined (flat-) rate.
