ADSL modem (Transparent Bridge) - This is when you plug the modem directly into the
Ethernet port of a computer and then run Internet connection software (often supplied by your
ISP) on the computer to establish a connection to the Internet. This method means that the
computer connected to the Ethernet port of the NB1300Plus4 Wireless is exposed to the
Internet and is given a public IP address.
