WRP500 Features and Benefits
With a variety of features, the WRP500 offers the benefits of five devices in one:
1. Router: The WRP500 is a broadband router with a robust security firewall to protect your network.
2. Switch: The WRP500 includes a built-in, 4-port, full-duplex, 10/100 Ethernet switch to connect
computers, printers, and other equipment directly or to attach additional hubs and switches.
Advanced Quality of Service functionality ensures that you can prioritize traffic for data, voice, and
video applications.
3. Analog Telephone Adapter: The WRP500 includes a two-port Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA)
that allows you to connect your analog phones or fax machines to your configured Internet telephone
service. Two traditional phone lines also can be connected for support of legacy phone numbers and
fax numbers.
4. Wireless Access Point: The WRP500 has an integrated 802.11b/g wireless access point that secures
your communications with WEP and WPA security protocols. It is preconfigured to support two
wireless networks: one for transferring general data, such as data from a connected PC; and another
for transferring data from voice devices, such as audio or fax data.
5. Mobile Broadband Router: When you attach a compatible Mobile Broadband Modem to the USB
port, the WRP500 allows multiple Wi-Fi devices to share a mobile broadband connection. This
feature also can be used to provide continuous Internet service by providing automatic failover to
the mobile network when the primary Internet connection is unavailable. For the latest copy of the
