Cable/DSL Wireless-Ready Router with 4-Port Switch
provides the ideal solution for connecting your network to a high-
speed broadband Internet connection and a 10/100 Fast Ethernet
backbone, with the option to add wireless capabilities. Configurable as
a DHCP server for your existing network, the Router acts as the only
externally recognized Internet gateway on your local area network
(LAN) and serves as an Internet NAT firewall against unwanted outside
intruders. Plus, the Router functions as an Access Point when you add
a Wireless Network PC card (not included) to enable wireless
connectivity. 
A
typical router relies on a hub or a switch to share its Internet
connection, but the Linksys EtherFast
®
Cable/DSL Wireless-Ready
Router with 4-Port Switch channels this connection through the
blazing, full duplex speed of its built-in EtherFast
®
10/100 4-Port
Switch.  This cutting-edge combination of wireless-ready router and
switch technology eliminates the need to buy an additional hub or
switch—just add a Wireless Network PC card to connect the router to
your wireless network.  Now your entire wireless network can enjoy
blazing broadband Internet connections supported by its robust
switched backbone.  With the dual-function speed and power of the
EtherFast
