D-Link DSL-500 ... never been simpler and more cost-efficient. Offering superior connectivity than traditional analog connection, this router is designed to provide megabit access for interactive video, high speed data communication and Internet access for small office users. The ADSL interface features a DMT full rate for downstream of up to 8Mbps and upstream line of up to 640Kbps. G.lite rate for downstream is up to 1.5Mbps and upstream is up to 512Kbps, high enough for most Internet applications today. G.lite support eliminates the need to install a splitter for the phone rate. The ADSL port auto-senses the installed rate and auto-negotiates between the full rate and G.lite.

The router supports IP packet routing over the WAN, in addition to transparent bridging. Virtual Private Network (VPN) over the public network (Internet) is also supported, providing services and capabilities equivalent to those offered by private network. VPN gives you the configuration capability to separate subnets and limit broadcast domains to improve traffic conditions over the WAN. The router provides cost-saving Internet functions like NAT and DHCP. Network Address Translator (NAT) allows multiple LAN users to share a single ISP account. DHCP automatically assigns proxy IP address for LAN users.

Resultant product: a link to broadband internet that will work anywhere in the world where ADSL has been enabled. Speedwise it will go upto 8mbits downstream, and 812kbits upstream, just like that Alcatel slug BT supplied me with 2 years ago... although this of course is limited by the speed of your access package. It also makes the connection even more like an "always on" connection by ...more

Why a router? If you want to pipe your ADSL connection round several computers without having a dedicated host-come-server you'll need a router. This is a device which directs traffic from a very large network, in this case the internet, onto a smaller one, your LAN in this case. The other reason that you migt need one of these is if like me your computer has no USB port, as is the case with my Sun workstation. So how good is it? Very good: if you read the spec and compliance list that comes with it you'll fill your head with worthless technobabble which really means nothing. All you need to know is that here in ...  Read the complete review
