This chapter describes the key features and applications of your Prestige.
1.1 Introducing the Prestige
Your Prestige integrates high-speed 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating LAN interface(s) and a
high-speed ADSL port into a single package. The Prestige is ideal for high-speed Internet
browsing and making LAN-to-LAN connections to remote networks. The Prestige is an ADSL
router compatible with the ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ standards. Maximum data rates attainable
by the Prestige for each standard are shown in the next table.

ADSL 832 kbps 8Mbps
ADSL2 3.5Mbps 12Mbps
ADSL2+ 3.5Mbps 24Mbps
Note: The standard your ISP supports determines the maximum upstream and
downstream speeds attainable. Actual speeds attained also depend on the
distance from your ISP, line quality, etc.
By integrating DSL and NAT, the Prestige provides ease of installation and Internet access.
The Prestige is also a complete security solution with a robust firewall, content filtering and
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA).
