NAT

Network Address Translation (NAT) lets your 2247-N8 use a single public IP address assigned by your Internet service provider to support multiple
computers on your home network. Your home network uses private IP addresses, and the 2247-N8 keeps track of each device's request and translates
it to the single public address as it goes out to the Internet. NAT also allows you to open specific ports to your home network using a “pinhole” to sup-
port applications that need to be accessed from the Internet.
