INTRODUCTION

With the explosive growth of the Internet, accessing information and services at any time, day or night, has become standard fare for most people. The era of the standalone PC is waning. Networking technology is moving out of the exclusiv e domain of corporations and into homes with at least two computers.

Broadband network access is also gaining ground. Allowing more than two computers to access the Internet at the same time, however, has typically entailed significantly higher costs. Thus, there is a great demand for technology that enables users to share a single Internet connection.

Employing a router to sh are an Internet connection s olves the problem of high network access costs. Using such a device, each networked computer is able to make full use of broadband capabilities.

A local area network connects home computers and enables users to access the Internet, share resources, and play online games – the essentials of the family computing lifestyle.

Online gaming:

Your local area network allows you to play online games and use ecommerce services.

Firewall:

A built-in firewall function prot ects against hackers. Features:

¾ High speed data transfer rate, FTP up to 40Mbps ¾ Supports NAT (sharing one IP address with all LAN users) ¾ Supports PPPoE and P PTP protocol for Dial-Up ADSL ¾ Supports DHCP Server / Client ¾ Supports UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) ¾ Supports virtual server mapping ¾ Supports packet filtering ¾ Simple Firewall protection ¾ Upgradeable firmware for future functions ¾ Easy configuration via Web Browser.

Applications:

Broadband Internet access sharing:

Enable several computers to share a single high-speed broadband Internet connection (LAN and WAN-Internet).
