As a 3-in-1 device, the TD-W8951ND combines the functions of a high speed DSL modem, a 4-Port 10/100Mbps NAT router and a wireless N access point. Using a DSL enabled telephone line the TD-W8951ND could create a high-speed ADSL2+ Internet connection. Once set up, the device’s wired/wireless functions can be used to share media between devices, browse the Internet, talk on an IP phone, or even stream HD video from anywhere in your entire home or even the yard. Save time and money using one device instead of multiple devices that take longer to set up and occupy more restricted space.
Unlike a dial-up Internet service, a DSL Internet connection is always on so that users need not dial up or wait to access the web. Supporting the latest ADSL standards, the TD-W8951ND offers higher performance (up to 24Mbps downstream and 3.5Mbps upstream) and longer reach from users' local Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Fulfils IEEE 802.11n standards, TD-W8951ND can establish a wireless network and deliver better wireless performance, transmission rates, stability and coverage. You can get up to 9X the speed and 4X the range of conventional 11g product and share your high-speed DSL Internet connection, photos, music, files, and even the heavy bandwidth consuming applications like wireless HD video streaming which cannot be contained by 11g products, from anywhere in their entire homes or even in their backyards!.
Port VLAN binds specific LAN ports and PVCs for differential services like IPTV. The TD-W8951ND's built-in QoS engine provides various QoS policies that help prioritize Internet traffic to enable smooth IPTV streaming and lag-free online gaming. Thus users can experience the benefits of a smooth network connection without worrying about traffic congestion. Combined with IGMP multicast and IGMP snooping features the TD-W8951ND makes a perfectanswer for multimedia applications.
The TD-W8951ND use NAT and SPI (stateful packet inspection) firewalls which check the contents of incoming packets before they are allowed in, preventing potential attacks from across the Internet. For added convenience, it supports access control based on MAC addresses, IP addresses, domain names or applications such as MSN or Yahoo Messenger, so that parents and network administrators can set uplimited access policies for children or staff. Aside from web configuration, the TD-W8951ND also provides TR-069 and SNMP, which automatically update the device's firmware and other settings when they become available from users' ISP. All of these features help users to improve their network’s security and make network management more flexible.
To setup their network's security encryption, users need simply to press the "WPS" button on their TD-W8961ND, then push the "WPS" button or enter the router's PIN Code in the wireless client, and it will automatically create a WPA secure connection. Not only is this quicker than normal security setups but more convenient in that users don't need to remember a password!
Easy Setup Assistant with multi-language support is provided in the product CD. Users can select their native language when setting up their device and complete Internet connection setup, wireless network settings and security configurations without the use of a multilingual dictionary. This advantage permits even new users to setup their products without sacrificing any key features. Users need simply insert the TD-W8951ND's bundled Auto-Run CD to have their networks set up quickly and trouble-free in minutes.
