hp digital home networking wireless gateway

Congratulations on your purchase of the HP Digital Home Networking Wireless Gateway. The Wireless Gateway is the perfect solution for connecting your wireless network to a high-speed broadband cable modem or Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Internet connection.

Your Gateway can be configured as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, which means that it can automatically assign Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to PCs in your Local Area Network (LAN). The Gateway becomes your only visible network device on the Internet.

The Gateway also serves as your Internet firewall, protecting your networked PC’s from access by external users. All incoming data is monitored and filtered using a firewall. You can configure your Gateway to permit playing Internet games and video conferencing. You also can use IP filtering to block your users from access to the Internet as needed. Now all of your network users can enjoy fast broadband Internet access and can share internal data.

A typical gateway (router) relies on a hub or switch to share its Internet connection, but the HP Wireless Gateway, in addition to its wireless capabilities, also channels the Internet connection through the full duplex speed of its built-in Ethernet 4-port switch. This combination of wireless gateway and switch technology eliminates the need to buy an additional hub or switch and extends the range of your wireless network. Now your entire wireless network can enjoy fast broadband Internet connections supported by its robust switched backbone. With the dual-function speed and power of the Wireless Gateway, your network will operate faster than you ever imagined.
