Enabling Parallel Broadband
(Only available in Gateway mode)
The access point is equipped with the exclusive Parallel Broadband technology, which
translates into scalable Internet bandwidth as well as Load Balancing and Fail-Over
Redundancy features.
Since there is no restriction to the type of broadband Internet account that the access
point can connect to, your network may run with one of the access points on Cable
Internet, while the rest connect to ADSL.
The diagram below illustrates an application of Parallel Broadband in a network with 3
of the access points, X, Y and Z.

Load balancing
Building your network around multiple access points arranged in cascade and
running under Parallel Broadband, creates an aggregate bandwidth and
enables you to balance the Internet traffic generated by your private network
over multiple broadband connections. For instance, Z might share its load
with X and Y so that each of the access points serves approximately the same
number of users.
