System Requirements:
ADSL Internet service
Ethernet or USB connection for your PC
Windows® 98SE, Me, NT, 2000, XP, or Mac OS® or other operating systems running a TCP/IP network
Pros:
DG632 is an ADSL Modem, that's a router at the same time. Cased in a clear white plastic, it helps me get a speed faster than my regular dial-up. Since being DSL in nature, I'm getting around 140 time my normal phone line (dial-up) connection. Plus, linking it with a few units more to make an effective local network.
Cons:
There are a few times that it suddenly drops connection. Don't know if the IP's needing to be refreshed, but I do that on a regular basis - just to make the connection going on.
Overall:
Be able to "plug-it-in" in both USB or Ethernet port. Includes hardware firewall that monitors downlink (data stream) and prevents unauthorized intrusions.
