| 502828 | 2006-11-29 01:28:00 | I was on the d-link aussie site and there is a NZ firmware update to update the dsl502t router to adsl2+. it says you should check if the firmware is compatible with your isp dslams first. it says it will still work with normal adsl. my question is, will my broadband connection have higher download speeds if i update? | lance4k (4644) | ||

However, if your current connection suffers from a local bottle neck, ie. you can't achieve the current ADSL max of 8MBit, then it will make little difference. | maccrazy (6741) | ||
| 502832 | 2006-11-29 23:33:00 | hey does the 502t router protect me from hackers? Because it has a NAT. does a NAT act like a basic firewall? | lance4k (4644) | ||
| 502833 | 2006-11-29 23:41:00 | hey does the 502t router protect me from hackers? To a point. Doesn't stop you getting malware by deliberate download though. |
