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.
