Can I use my router during thunderstorm ?
ADSL routers can be damaged by thunderstorms. Our product warranty does not
apply to damage caused by lightning. If your area is frequent in thunderstorms,
you are advised to use a surge protector. Certain surge protectors have been
reported to reduce download speed, so you are advised to test your speed before
and after installation to make sure that it adds no problems to your line.
Do I need to install additional telephone lines in order to use ADSL?
No, you do not need to do so. ADSL and standard voice telephones operate at a
different set of frequencies. The difference in frequencies allows both IP (Internet)
traffic and voice traffic to co-exist on a same physical phone line.
Will my old PC be fast enough for ADSL?
Yes. But if you start to use the ADSL line to view video-on-demand or other
memory and processor hungry functions, you may well decide that your PC is too
slow. However, there are still many interesting sites that can be seen and used by
slower PCs.
How can I send/receive fax as well as surfing the Internet at the same time ?
To send/receive fax, you may connect your fax machine to the TEL jack of your
router (same as the way you connect to the telephone set as illustrated in Chapter
3 - Connecting DSL9100R ).
Do I need to use Micro-Filter when using ADSL ?
Your router has a built-in Micro-Filter at the TEL jack. Thus no Micro-Filter is
required between your Telephone set and the router.
However, if you are sharing the ADSL line with other telephone line extensions,
you will need to have a Micro-Filter connected between the other telephone set
and the telephone wall socket connecting to it.
