A router is a device that forwards messages according to their network
addresses. The Model 6211 is a router.
ADSL is Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, a version of DSL that
allows a higher speed for information coming from the Internet to your
PC (“downstream”) than it does for information going to the Internet
from your PC (“upstream”).
ADSL/R is technology that combines ADSL and ReachDSL in one
device.
ReachDSL is a version of DSL that works on lines too long or
too noisy for ADSL.
