FireIce SG Broadband in general refers to data transmission where multiple pieces of data are sent simultaneously to increase the effective rate of transmission. In network engineering this term is used for methods where two or more signals share a medium. Various forms of Digital Subscriber Line service are broadband in the sense that digital information is sent over one channel and voice over another channel sharing a single pair of wires. Analog modems operating at speeds greater than 600 bit/s are technically broadband. They obtain higher effective transmission rates by using multiple channels with the rate on each channel limited to 600 baud. For example, a 2400 bit/s modem uses four 600 baud channels (see baud). This is in contrast to a baseband transmission where one type of signal uses a medium's full bandwidth such as 100BASE-T Ethernet. for more information,pls refer to wiki
KumSioJui SG the older modems are good I agree, but the newer ones with built in routers suck big time. I kanna sabo a few times recently with different aztech modem+routers models. the thing will either hang, connect/disconnect/connect/disconnect by itself, the DSL light will intermittenly start blinking giving false impression that line is problem, or the router software which claims to be able to do things like DMZ or port forwarding dun consistently do wat it supposed to. wat a lousy cheapskate product.
KumSioJui SG DMZ sometime you want to expose all ports on a PC to internet for troubleshooting. The ideal is to do port forwarding. The things is 1 had 2 aztech both same models, both I configured to do port forwarding, one can do other just cannot. Then when I put both on DMZ, the one earlier that cannot port forward works fine with DMZ but DMZ fails on the modem that could port forward. So doesn't it say that their product is inconsistently f.ucked
Sagara SG aztech is from malaysia. sucky software for the router. imagine keying every single port u wanna forward. [no port forward range] cheap tho
chanff8 SG i use belkin. if im using the internet connection heavily, like MSN Messenger, surfing the web, downloading stuff at the same time, it’ll disconnect around twice per hour… so far so good though, cos i placed the wireless router near my room
