MAC address Acronym for “media access control” address. The address that is used for communication between network adapters on the same subnet. Each network adapter is manufactured with its own unique MAC address.

Mbps Abbreviation of “megabits per second.” A unit of bandwidth measurement that defines the speed at which information can be transferred through a network or Ethernet cable. One megabyte is roughly equivalent to eight megabits.

modem A device that facilitates the transmission and reception of information between computers.

NAT Acronym for “network address translation.” The process of converting between IP addresses used within a private network and Internet IP addresses. NAT enables all of the computers on a network to share one IP address. The Microsoft Broadband Networking Base Station supports NAT, which provides an extra layer of network security by masking the actual IP addresses of the computers using a base station.
