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.
This integrated access device combines Internet gateway functions with wireless LAN and Fast Ethernet switch.
Designed for the business and home, it saves you the cost of installing a separate modem and ISP line for each computer,
while providing ready connection for the users, with or without the network wires.
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 using a shared Internet connection through an Internet sharing device can solve high
network access costs. 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.
