BEFORE YOU USE
Thank you for purchasing a NetComm ADSL2+ Router. NetComm brings you the Next Generation of ADSL
technology with ADSL2+*, which boosts ADSL’s performance, improves interoperability, and supports new
applications, services and deployment conditions.
NetComm’s implementation of ADSL2+* ensures that your Router operates with existing ADSL services while
delivering optimal performance in all modes of operation. Powered by the latest Broadcom ADSL2+* chipset,
NetComm’s Router provides downstream data rates of up to 24Mbps in ADSL2+* mode ensuring that you can
surf the net or download your files quicker than ever before.
Security is a key issue with Broadband users and NetComm’s Routers do not leave you exposed. Your new
Router has a built-in firewall to ensure your defences are rock-solid against hackers, unauthorised entries,
probes and even Denial of Service attacks. What’s more, your Router is equipped with a VPN pass-through
feature allowing you to use a standard VPN client for Point-to-Point communication even while your
Firewall is active.
NetComm’s NB6 Series Routers deliver the connection versatility needed to cater for today’s ADSL users.
Simply attach to a single PC using the Ethernet port (recommended) or USB port (not available for NB6Plus4
or NB6Plus4Wn). Alternatively, should you wish to share your Internet connection, the device is equipped
with an in-built Router and one or four Ethernet ports for connection to a network. If you have the NB6W,
NB6Plus4W or NB6Plus4Wn router you can also share your Internet connection wirelessly.
The Router’s Port Forwarding and UPnP functions have made it easier for today’s Internet users to configure
and setup the myriad of Network Port Rules needed by Internet applications such as On-Line Gaming, Peer-
To-Peer file sharing and Messenger services to operate. The Router has a number of pre-configured rules for
several games, just click on the game you wish to play on-line and the rest is done for you.
Added to this, the Router introduces a QoS (Quality of Service) feature that gives you control over which types
of data are given priority by the Router.
* Your ISP must support and provide you with an ADSL-2 or ADSL-2+ service for these features to be available. This product will operate
as a standard ADSL Router when an ADSL-2 service is not available.
