Hardware Description

The Barricade contains an integrated ADSL modem and connects to the Internet or to a remote site using its RJ-45 WAN port. It can be connected directly to your PC or to a local area network using any of the four Fast Ethernet LAN ports.

Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Full-rate ADSL provides up to 8 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream. G.lite (or splitterless) ADSL provides up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 kbps upstream. ADSL2+ provides up to 24Mbps downstream and 1Mbps upstream. However, you should note that the actual rate provided by specific service providers may vary dramatically from these upper limits.

Data passing between devices connected to your local area network can run at up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports and 54 Mbps over the built-in wireless access point.
