Hardware Description

The Barricade connects to the Internet or to a remote site using its ADSL RJ-45 port. It can be connected directly to your PC or to a local area network using the Fast Ethernet LAN port.

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. 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 port and 54 Mbps over the built-in wireless network adapter.
