Sharing an Internet Connection

Hardware Internet sharing
Sharing of a single broadband Internet connection using a Gateway
is the most efficient and highest-performance way of sharing a DSL
or cable Internet connection. In addition, most Gateways provide
a basic level of security for your network, and include a built-in
switch to add more ports to your network. In fact, full-featured
Gateways such as the Belkin Broadband Internet Gateway (part
number F5D5230-X) can be used either in place of, or in addition to,
any existing network hub or switch.
For full information on installing a Gateway and configuring
internet access using it, please consult the user manual supplied with
your Gateway.
