Sharing an Internet Connection

Hardware Internet sharing

Sharing of a single broadband Internet connection using a Gateway is the most efficient and highest-performance way of sharing a DSL or cable Internet connection. In addition, most Gateways provide a basic level of security for your network, and include a built-in switch to add more ports to your network. In fact, full-featured Gateways such as the Belkin Broadband Internet Gateway (part number F5D5230-X) can be used either in place of, or in addition to, any existing network hub or switch.
