1. 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 stand-alone 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 a wireless LAN and Fast Ethernet switch. Designed for business and the 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 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.

With the scarcity of IP addresses, the use of a shared Internet connection through an Internet sharing device can circumvent high network-access costs. All linked computers can make full use of broadband capabilities over such a device.

The INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS Wireless Super G Router 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 (LAN) and Internet access share, offering great savings.

The LAN connects 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.

APPLICATIONS

Broadband Internet access — Several computers can share one high-speed broadband connection, either wired or wireless (WLAN, LAN and WAN- Internet).

Resource sharing — Share resources such as printers, scanners and other peripherals.

File sharing — Exchange data/messages and distribute files while making good use of hard disk space.

Online gaming — Through the local area network, online gaming and e-commerce services can be easily set up.

Firewall — A built-in firewall function for security and anti-hack systems.
