Chapter 1: Introduction
The SOHOware BroadGuard Secure cable/DSL Router provides convenient Internet access to office/family users by sharing a single Broadband Service Provider (BSP) account. The BroadGuard functions with cable/DSL modems and allows up to 253 computers to share secure broadband Internet access simultaneously.

Embedded Network Address Translation (NAT) enables you to use a private set of IP addresses that the BroadGuard translates into a single public IP address.
The BroadGuard can also act as a DHCP server by automatically allocating a dynamic IP address to each computer on the network.
An enhanced firewall and the Access Control feature monitor incoming data packets and filter server requests. Together they allow parents/employers to see how the network connection is being used, and protect all PCs behind the BroadGuard.
