xDSL/ATU-R Modem Connection
The Broadband Wireless Router provides continuous and high-speed access between your wireless and Ethernet
devices. In addition, it can connect your entire network to the Internet through an external broadband access device.
Note:
The attached xDSL/ATU-R must provide a standard 10/100Base-T Ethernet connection.
Please use the Ethernet cable comes with your broadband device or any other standard
10/100Base-T Ethernet cable.
The Ethernet cable supplied by your ISP for connecting to your xDSL/ATU-R may be an Ethernet crossover cable or
a straight-through cable. It is important to use the cable provided by your ISP to connect the modem to your
Broadband Wireless Router.
