CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this Edimax product. This router is a cost-effective router, an
ADSL2+ modem, and Ethernet network switch. You can surf the Internet and share the
connection through the router without investing in other devices.
This router can support downstream transmission rates of up to 24Mbps and upstream
transmission rates of up to 1Mbps. It supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation
Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC
2516), and IPoA (RFC1577) to establish a connection with ISP. The product also supports
VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.
You can configure the router by running the Setup Wizard in the CD-ROM provided in
the package. The wizard provides quick setup for the Internet connection, firmware
upgrade and changing router’s password. When you start the Setup Wizard, you will get the
following Welcome screen. Please choose the language to start with and follow the easy
steps in the Wizard. No instruction for the Setup Wizard is given here.
