ABOUT THE BARRICADE™ ROUTER Congratulations on your purchase of the Barricade™ Broadband Router. SMC is proud to provide you with a powerful yet simple communication device for connecting your local area network (LAN) to the Internet. For those who want to surf the Internet at the lowest possible cost, this Broadband Router provides a convenient and powerful solution. IMPORTANT INFORMATION! This information is addressed to the DSL-Users without a flat rate contract**.
About the Barricade™ Router This disconnect only happens if there are no more open requests received from either the LAN or the WAN side (here this can be requests from the internet, i.e. initiated through the use of so called file sharing programs like eMule, eDonkey, etc.) that keep the router active. In order to counter such incalculable activity and protect yourself from higher than expected on-line costs we therefore recommend again a flat-rate contract for your DSL-connection.
