INTRODUCTION
With the explosive growth of the Internet, accessing information and services at any time, day or night has become a standard requirement for most people. The era of the standalone PC is waning. Networking technology is moving out of the exclusive domain of corporations and into homes with at least two computers. Broadband network access is also gaining ground. However, allowing more than two computers to access the Internet at the same time means less affordable, higher costs. Thus, there is a need to share one legal IP address over a single Internet connection to link the home with the Internet. The scarcity of IP addresses and high network access costs can be solved by using a shared Internet connection through an Internet sharing device. All linked computers can make full use of broadband capabilities over such a device. This device not only comes equipped with a wide range of features, but also can be installed and configured right out of the box. This device supports a simple local area network and Internet access share, offering great cost savings. The local area network connects up home computers while also allowing any of the computers to access the Internet, share resources, or play online games—the basis of the family computing lifestyle.
Applications:
Broadband Internet access:
Several computers can share one high-speed broadband connection (LAN and WAN-Internet).
Resource sharing:
Share resources such as printers, scanners and other peripherals.
File sharing:
Exchange data, messages, and distribute files thus making good use of hard disk space.
Online gaming:
Through the local area network, online gaming and e-commerce services can be easily setup.
With a broadband connection of 512K/64K through a NAT broadband sharing device, up to five (or eight) computers can get on the Internet without any appreciable loss of speed. Both download and upload speeds work just fine. In addition, a built-in firewall function—a security and anti-hacker system--can be activated. Such a low-cost but effective solution is scalable—adding more computers are as simple as buying a hub or a switch and linking them through the uplink port.

Hardware connections
1. Install the network card.
2. Connect the broadband modem (ADSL or Cable modem)
3. Connect the Internet Broadband Router (Internet BroadBand Router)
4. Check the installation.

Install the network card
Each computer connected to the local area network has to have one Ethernet card.
1. Switch off the computer. Open the computer case. Plug in the network card into the PCI or ISA slot.
2. Switch on the computer and install the drivers for the network card.
Connect the Internet BroadBand Router
Connect the Internet BroadBand Router with broadband modem (ADSL Modem or Cable Modem)
1. Plug in one end of the network cable to the WAN (Internet) port of the Internet BroadBand Router.
【7 Port / 8 Port】
2. Plug in the other end of the network cable to the Ethernet port of the ADSL or Cable modem.

The control LEDs of the Internet Broadband Router are clearly visible and the status of the network link can be seen instantly:
1. With the power source on, once the device is connected to the broadband modem, the Power, Status, and WAN port link LEDs of the Internet BroadBand Router will light up indicating a normal status.
2. If the WAN Port Link does not light up then press the MDIX button located on the underside of the unit.

Connect the Internet BroadBand Router
Connect one end of the network cable to the Ethernet port on the computer; the other end of the cable connects to the LAN port of the Internet BroadBand Router. Since the Internet BroadBand Router has five (or eight) ports, you can connect up to five (or eight) computers directly to the unit. There you do not have to buy a hub to connect these computers since one Internet BroadBand Router functions both as a connection-sharing unit and as a hub.
【7 Port / 8 Port】
Connect to the Broadband’s LAN Port with the network cable. One device can connect with 5
【4 Port】
Connect to the Broadband’s LAN Port with the network cable. One device can connect with 1
When the network connection is complete, you can check the connection status and speed by looking at the LAN port and Link LED status. When both LEDs of a port are on, the connection is 100 Mbps (depending on your network card or cable). If only the top LED is lighted, your network connection is only 10 Mbps. As long as the Link LED is on, then the connection is normal.
