1. Product Overview

1.1. Supported Features

The HA35 Hybrid Access Gateway (HA35 for short) is a high-speed wireless router designed for home and small office use. This chapter describes the features supported by the HA35.

Digital subscriber line (DSL) provides rugged stability, and with the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button, zero configuration is required for connections to multiple devices.

Network range allows any device in a home to be connected with a wireless transmission rate of up to 300 Mbps.

A powerful firewall is provided with a flexible network configuration and quality of service (QoS) strategy, enabling different home devices to enjoy high-speed and highquality broadband services.

High-Bandwidth DSL Connectivity

The HA35 incorporates a high-performance ADSL2+/VDSL2 processor and provides highspeed Internet access and abundant services to be delivered through the digital subscriber line (DSL).

Routing

The HA35 supports routing. It can obtain an IP address through PPP dial-up or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), which provides simultaneous access for multiple devices.

WLAN

The HA35 supports multiple WLAN protocols, including 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz). Adopting 802.11n multiple-input multiple-output antennas (MIMO) technology, the HA35 delivers a wireless transmission rate of up to 300 Mbps with its dual antennas. In addition, the HA35 supports multiple wireless encryption modes to provide a secure, reliable, and high-speed WLAN.

Bandwidth Control

The HA35 supports bandwidth control and allocates bandwidth to different computers within your home based on Internet access requirements. Your family can then access the Internet, play online games, and watch videos without interfering with each other.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup

You can set up wireless connections between the HA35 and Wi-Fi enabled devices by pressing the WPS button.

Firewall

The powerful built-in firewall effectively protects against viruses and malicious attacks.

Version 2.1 (May 2016)

Parental Controls

Parents can control their children's computer usage by placing time limits on usage duration or forbidding access to certain websites.

Easy Configuration and Management

The HA35 provides password-protected web-based management pages to protect your personal data.
