Benefits and Features
Your residential gateway offers the following benefits and features:
 Full routing functionality. The gateway router provides broadband transfer
speeds available between your home network and the service provider's network
for multi-user sharing. The high-performance router distributes data seamlessly
to all devices in the network without a noticeable effect to performance or speed.
 True firewall capability. The gateway firewall includes both standard
NAT/PAT security and Stateful Packet inspection to defend against external
attacks.
 High-quality data, voice, and IPTV services. The gateway combines an ADSL2+
bonded modem, 4-port Ethernet switch, Home Phoneline Networking Alliance
(HPNA™) 3.0 bridge and router functionality with optional VoIP and WiFi into
one integrated platform.
 Compact design. The gateway is compact enough to sit on a desktop and
versatile enough to be wall mounted in an out of the way location. The
residential gateway can also stand vertically.
 Flexible networking. The gateway combines a variety of home networking
technologies in one box: Ethernet, USB, 802.11g wireless, and HPNA.
- Ethernet. Ethernet is a network standard for data transmission using either
coaxial or twisted pair cable over a LAN (local area network). The
information can be transmitted at speeds of 10 to 100 Mbps. If the home or
office is wired for Ethernet, use one of the four LAN interfaces on the
gateway to create a broadband network.
- USB. The USB port allows you to directly connect a computer or other
network capable device.
- 802.11g Wireless. The gateway includes an integrated wireless access point
that allows you to roam wirelessly throughout your home or office. With the
high-power wireless technology of the DDR2200, wireless "coldspots" are
virtually eliminated in the home.
- HPNA. The HPNA interface allows you to easily share digital services
throughout the home using the existing coaxial cable to distribute content
such as video, music, and games. HPNA offers the following benefits:
 Multi-room DVR. Subscribers can record and share digital services
simultaneously in every room.
 Multi-room gaming. Subscribers can access games from various locations
in the home and play simultaneously.
 PC to TV. Subscribers can access data and video services over the HPNA
coaxial network throughout the home.
