Built-in switch connects
four local PCs directly,

grows
High security: Powerful
SPI firewall, advanced
access controls, and
up to two simultaneous
VPN endpoints
anywhere in the house. And you can share all
kinds of files between computers -- music, digi-
tal pictures, and other documents.
The Router's powerful SPI firewall protects your
PCs against intruders and most known Internet
attacks. It can serve as a DHCP Server, can be
configured to filter internal users' access to the
Internet, and has MAC or IP address filtering so
you can specify exactly who has access to your
network. Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) lets spe-
cialized Internet applications configure the
Router so you don't have to. Finally, the Virtual
Private Network (VPN) function creates encrypted
"tunnels" through the Internet so up to two travel-
ing users can securely connect to your network
from off-site, or users at home can connect to a
corporate network. Configuration is a snap with
the web browser-based configuration utility.
With the security of the Broadband Firewall
Router with 4-Port Switch/VPN Endpoint at the
heart of your home network, you can get the
most out of your fast Internet connection and still
rest easy.
Broadband Firewall Router
with 4-Port Switch/
VPN Endpoint
Think of the Broadband Firewall Router as a kind of
"splitter" and secure gatekeeper for your Internet
connection. Just connect your DSL or Cable
Modem to the Router, and all the computers in your
household can share the Internet -- all at the same
time. The built-in 4-port switch lets you attach four
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
