Think of the EtherFast® Cable/DSL Router with 8-Port Switch as a kind of "splitter" for your Internet connection.  Just 
connect your DSL or Cable Modem to the Router, and all the computers in your home or office can share the Inter-
net -- all at the same time.  The built-in 8-port switch lets you attach eight local PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to 
more hubs and switches as your network grows.
Once your computers are connected to the Internet through the Router, they can communicate with each other 
too, sharing resources and files.  All your computers can print on a shared printer connected anywhere in the build-
ing.  And you can share all kinds of files between computers -- music, digital pictures, and other documents.  Keep 
all your digital music on one computer, and listen to it anywhere in the house.  Organize all of your digital pictures in 
one place, to simplify finding the ones you want, and ease backup to CD-R.  Play head-to-head computer games 
within the household, or against Internet opponents.  Utilize extra free space on one computer when another's hard 
drive starts to fill up.
It's all easier than you think -- the included Setup Wizard takes you through configuring the Router, step by step.  The 
Router can act as a DHCP server for your network, so your PCs are configured automatically.  Universal Plug-and-Play 
(UPnP) lets specialized Internet applications configure the Router so you don't have to.  Built-in NAT technology helps 
keep intruders out of your computers.  Advanced users can set up QoS prioritization based on port or service type.
With the EtherFast® Cable/DSL Router with 8-Port Switch at the heart of your home network, you don't need to be a 
networking genius to share printers, files, and your high-speed Internet connection.
