About This Guide 

Thank you for choosing the DSL-1500G Wireless SHDSL Router. The DSL-1500G delivers affordable T1 

equivalent Internet access characterized by very high rate upload and downloads data transmission speeds. The 

standardized SHDSL technology implemented in the Router is ideally suited for VPN applications, video 

teleconferencing, IP telephony applications, public web servers and interactive gaming over the Internet. The
