Key Features:

NAT Firewall Security

Your Belkin 4-Port Cable/DSL Gateway Router employs Network Address Translation (NAT) to protect your network from the outside world by isolating it from the Internet. NAT monitors all of the data coming in from the Internet and will only let through the information you want.

Integrated 10/100 4-Port Switch

The Belkin 4-Port Cable/DSL Gateway Router has a built-in 4-Port network switch to allow your computers to share printers, data and MP3 files, digital photos, and much more. The switch features automatic detection so it will adjust to the speed of connected devices. The switch will transfer data between computers and the Internet simultaneously without interrupting or consuming resources.

Built-in DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) on-board makes for the easiest possible connection of a network. The DHCP server will assign IP addresses to each computer automatically so there is no need for a complicated networking setup.
