5.  The Prestige Internet Access Sharing Router uses Solid State Disk technology. There are no 

moving parts in the product. It is much more reliable than any hard disk based system, such as the 

one for WinGate. 

 

    

Yes, it is possible because Prestige delivers the packet to the local server by looking up to a SUA server 

table. Therefore, to make a local server accessible to the outside users, the port number and the inside IP 

address of the server must be configured in Network>NAT>Port Forwarding 

The Prestige supports DHCP client on the WAN port and DHCP server on the LAN port. The Prestige's 

DHCP client allows it to get the Internet IP address from ISP automatically. The Prestige's DHCP server 

allows it to automatically assign IP and DNS addresses to the clients on the local LAN.       

The Prestige series support 4*10/100M Ethernet LAN port to connect to the computer on LAN and 

1*10/100M Ethernet to connect to the external cable or ADSL modem on WAN. 

A workaround is to use an alternate path for your upstream path, such as a dialup connection to an 

Internet service provider. So, if you can find another way to get your upstream packets to the Internet you 

will still be able to receive downstream packets via Prestige.   

The speed of the cable modem is only one part of the equation. There are a combination of factors starting 

with how fast your PC can handle IP traffic, then how fast your PC to cable modem interface is, then how 

fast the cable modem system runs and how much congestion there is on the cable network, then how big a 

pipe there is at the head end to the rest of the Internet.   

Different models of PCs and Macs are able to handle IP traffic at varying speeds. Very few can handle it 

at 30 Mbps.
