Q29: How to use Virtual Server in Wireless/Broadband Router?
Ans: It’s also called Port forwarding. Virtual Server feature allows Internet users to access
standard Servers on your LAN, via the Internet IP Sharer. Normally, Internet users would not be
able to access a server on your LAN because your Server does not have a valid external IP
Address.
Q30: Why Wireless/Broadband Router always has problem under Cable connection but not ADSL
connection?
Ans: For ADSL, one subscriber shares one line. If your ISP provides you a 512K account then you
can enjoy the full 512Kbps on your side. But Cable is different. Many subscribers share the same
line. For example, the bandwidth of Cable is 1.5Mbps. If there are 25 users accessing the Internet
at the same time then the bandwidth of each user is 1500K/25 near 60K. The speed is just like the
traditional modem connection. If there are only 5 users on line at this moment then each user can
share the bandwidth to nearly 300K (1500K/5). So, the speed over ADSL is more stable than
Cable. The access will hang up when the traffic is heavy over the Cable. It is the reason why many
problems only happen over Cable.
