1.1 Overview
The P-660HWP-Dx is an IEEE 802.11b/g wireless ADSL2+ gateway that allows super-fast,
secure Internet access over analog (POTS), digital (ISDN) telephone lines (depending on your

using standard electrical wiring.
In the P-660HWP-Dx product name, “H” denotes an integrated 4-port switch (hub) and “W”
denotes an included wireless LAN card that provides wireless connectivity. “P” denotes power
line connection capability.
See the Product Specifications appendix for a full list of features.
Model names ending in “1”, for example P-660H/HW-D Series, denote a device that works
over the analog telephone system, POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service). Model names ending
in “3” denote a device that works over ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network).
The DSL RJ-11 (ADSL over POTS models) or RJ-45 (ADSL over ISDN models) connects to
your ADSL or ISDN-enabled telephone line.
The included power cable and plug connects to your power line enabled home wiring.

the bottom of your P-660HWP-Dx.
The P-660HWP-Dx is the ideal high-speed Internet access solution. It is compatible with all
major ADSL DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) providers and supports
the ADSL standards as shown in Table 1 on page 36. In addition, the P-660HWP-Dx with its
