Introduction to your Router
Thank you for purchasing TW-EF600 802.11n Fiber Optical Router. Your new router is a point-
to-point fiber gateway that allows you to experience very super fast broadband point-to-point
connectivity for FTTH applications.
The 802.11n Fiber Optical Router is a point-to-point (P2P) Fiber Gateway – featuring a 4-port
Gigabit Ethernet Switch, Firewall and Wi-Fi 802.11n access point. The device can be used for
fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) applications and offers four different optical connectors of Fiber WAN
interface transceiver: 100/1000BASE-BX (single-mode single fiber transceiver), 100/1000BASELX
(single-mode dual fiber), 100BASE-FX (multi-mode dual fiber), and 100/1000BASE Small Form
Factor Pluggable (SFP).
Moreover, the 802.11n Fiber Optical Router supports remote management on end-user devices,
which is available upon request for Telco’s/ISPs projects to tightly manage FTTH service delivery.
The router is also equipped with a built-in 4-port Gigabit Switch, enabling amazingly fast LAN
transmissions for bandwidth-consuming applications such as video streaming and file sharing. The
integrated 802.11n Wireless Access Point ensures the router offers faster wireless speeds (up to
300Mbps) while three built-in antennae maximize wireless signals.
The 802.11n Fiber Optical Router automatically adopts the optimal connection to deliver smooth
and constant signal reception even if obstacles are present. Users can easily enjoy high bandwidth
applications such as High Definition IPTV services without changing their home network. A robust
Firewall is also built in to provide protection against intrusion attacks while the Quality of Service
feature prioritizes queues and traffic or manages bandwidth for applications such as music downloads
and online gaming.
802.11n Wireless AP with WPA Support (802.11n Fiber Optical Router Only)
With integrated 802.11n Wireless Access Point in the router, the device offers a quick and easy
access among wired network, wireless network and broadband connection (VDSL) with single
device simplicity, and as a result, mobility to the users. In addition to 300 Mbps 802.11n data rate,
it also interoperates backward with existing 802.11g and 802.11b equipment. The Wi-Fi Protected
Access (WPA) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) supported features enhance the security level
of data protection and access control via Wireless LAN.
Fast Ethernet Switch
A 4-port 10/100/1000Mbps fast Ethernet switch is built in with automatic switching between MDI
and MDI-X for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX and 1000Base-TX ports. An Ethernet straight or crossover
cable can be used directly for auto detection.
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
This device provides an embedded PPPoE client function to establish a connection. You get
greater access speed without changing the operation concept, while sharing the same ISP account
and paying for one access account. No PPPoE client software is required for the local computer.
Automatic Reconnect and Disconnect Timeout (Idle Timer) functions are also provided.
