Q15: How should I connect my ADSL modem & use the phone as usual?
A15. To connect the ADSL modem and use the phone as usual, please connect the ADSL modem to your PC’s USB port, then connect
the phone line from wall-jack to the modem’s jack that labeled “line” then connect your phone line to one of the micro-filter, and connect
the line from micro-filter to the modem’s jack that labeled “phone”
Q16: If I using the phone for normal tele-conversation, will that decrease my bandwidth or ADSL Internet access speed when
downloading, and by roughly how much?
A16: As the voice communications over POTS (plain old telephone service) operates at frequencies below 4KHZ and the frequencies for
the ADSL modem is higher than the one use for voice communication, the bandwidth available to ADSL will not be affected during your
Internet access via ADSL modem, thus it will also not slow down or decrease your access speed.
Q17: What is the maximum speed?
A17: PROLiNK Hurricane series ADSL modem has excellent results for performance. We always make sure our modems comply with the
ADSL-standards, which set the downstream speed up to 8 Mbps and the upstream speed up to 1.5 Mbps. Of course, the speed you
currently have is limited by a number of factors. First of all, there’s your service subscription. You subscribe to a certain service for a fixed
fee.This fee depends on the chosen speed and additional services.
Then there’s the line length. Along this length, there are influencing factors such as lightning, physical copper quality, and finally, there’s
the Internet. The ADSL-connection only runs between your modem and your phone company, but there are many bottlenecks in the
worldwide Internet such as slow servers, bandwidth allocation.

Q18: The monitor screen shows “Unknown Devices” while I plug in the USB ADSL modem. Can it be the modem fault?
