Introduction
Thank you for buying the Gembird® Broadband router! This manual will help you
install and use it properly.
This product is specifically designed for Middling and Small Corporation needs. It
provides a complete solution for Internet surfing and corporation resources sharing, and it
is easy to configure and operate for even non-technical users. Instructions for installing
and configuring this product can be found in this manual. Before you install and use this
product, please read this manual carefully for full exploiting the functions of this product.
Just connect your DSL or Cable Modem to the Router, and all the computers in your
home or office can share the Internet -- all at the same time. The built-in 4-port switch lets
you attach seven local PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches as your
network grows.
Once your computers are connected to the Internet through the Router, they can
communicate with each other too, sharing resources and files. All your computers can print
on a shared printer connected anywhere in the building. And you can share all kinds of files
between computers -- music, digital pictures, and other documents.
