Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the XRouter Pro MIH-130 Internet Sharing Hub. The XRouter Pro functions as an easy-to-use communi- cation device that allows you to connect a local area network (LAN) to the Internet affordably. With the XRouter Pro you can get as many as 252 Macintosh or PC users online simultaneously through just one cable line or DSL, and one ISP account. The XRouter Pro installs quickly and easily, and best of all, it’s a breeze to use.

Sharing Internet Access

The XRouter Pro provides high-speed Internet access to multiple users by splitting the bandwidth from a cable line or from DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) into tiny portions and then routing these bandwidth “slices” to almost any number of Internet users. The fewer the number of users online at any one time, the faster the service each individual receives. Internet users on different nodes are not limited to looking at the same Web pages. Each node is functionally independent from the other nodes connected to the XRouter Pro.

Modems Supported

The XRouter Pro supports cable modems and DSL modems. The XRouter Pro has one WAN (Wide Area Network) port for connecting the unit to either a cable modem or a DSL modem. Either technology should provide more than enough bandwidth to accommodate the needs of even large groups of Internet users.

Built-in DHCP Server

The XRouter Pro’s built-in DHCP Server dramatically reduces the configuration and maintenance effort by allowing you to automatically configure the TCP/IP setting of computers over a local area network.
