CHAPTER 2. OVERVIEW

General Information

The DSL-6740U device is an affordable high-end VDSL/Ethernet router developed for home and SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) networks. It provides fast and simple broadband access to the Internet and a shared connection for multi users. The device allows accessing the Internet via VDSL/ADSL technology and via Ethernet technology.
DSL-6740U provides all the essentials for creating a secure high-speed wireless and wired network: VDSL2/VDSL/ADSL2+/ADSL2/ADSL standards, Fast Ethernet standard, the built-in firewall, the QoS engine, and numerous additional features.
The router is equipped with a VDSL port to connect to a high-speed VDSL line. The built-in 4-port switch enables you to connect Ethernet-enabled computers, game consoles, and other devices to your network. In addition, any Ethernet port of the device can be used to connect to a private Ethernet line.
Also DSL-6740U can operate as a base station for connecting wireless devices of the standards
802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n. The router supports multiple functions for the wireless interface: several security standards (WEP, WPA/WPA2), MAC address filtering, and the WPS function.
The wireless router DSL-6740U includes a built-in firewall. The advanced security functions minimize threats of hacker attacks, prevent unwanted intrusions to your network, and block access to unwanted websites for users of your LAN.
You can configure and manage the settings of the wireless router DSL-6740U via the user-friendly web-based interface (the interface is available in several languages).
