Digital Entertainer Elite EVA9000/9150 User Manual • Broadband Internet Your Internet connection speed is determined by your Internet Service Provider, as well as the connection speed of the sites to which you connect, and general Internet traffic. ADSL and cable modem connections are asymmetrical, meaning they have a lower data rate to the Internet (upstream) than from the Internet (downstream). A typical residential ADSL or cable modem connection provides a downstream throughput of about 1 to 3 megabits per second (Mbps). Newer technologies such as ADSL2+ and Fiber to the Home (FTTH) increase the connection speed to tens of Mbps. • Wireless Current-generation 802.11n wireless routers such as the NETGEAR WNR854T RangeMax NEXT Wireless-N Router provide wireless data throughput of up to 300 Mbps using technology called multiple input, multiple output (MIMO). MIMO uses multiple antennas to transmit multiple streams of data. The use of multiple (internal) antennas also provides excellent range and coverage. With the introduction of the newer WPA and WPA2 encryption and authentication protocols, wireless security is extremely strong. • Powerline For connecting rooms or floors that are blocked by obstructions or are distant, consider networking over your building's AC wiring. NETGEAR's Powerline HD family of products delivers up to 200 Mbps to any power outlet and connects to your devices and network using standard Ethernet cables. Note: You need at least two Powerline HD adapters to make this type of connection in your network. Data transmissions are encrypted for security, and you can configure an individual network password to prevent neighbors from connecting. The Powerline HD family of products can coexist on the same network with older-generation XE family products or HomePlug 1.0 products, but they are not interoperable with these older products. • Wired Ethernet As Gigabit Ethernet ports become common on newer computers, wired Ethernet remains a good choice for speed, economy, and security. Gigabit Ethernet can extend up to 100 meters with twisted-pair wiring of Cat 5e or better. A wired connection is not susceptible to interference, and eavesdropping would require a physical connection to your network. 5-6 Fine-Tuning Your Experience v1.0, March 2009

Broadband Internet
Your Internet connection speed is determined by your Internet Service Provider, as well as the
connection speed of the sites to which you connect, and general Internet traffic. ADSL and
cable modem connections are asymmetrical, meaning they have a lower data rate
to
the
Internet (upstream) than
from
the Internet (downstream). A typical residential ADSL or cable
modem connection provides a downstream throughput of about 1 to 3 megabits per second
(Mbps). Newer technologies such as ADSL2+ and Fiber to the Home (FTTH) increase the
connection speed to tens of Mbps.
