Think of the Linksys Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports 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 Internet -- all at the same time. The built-in 4-port switch lets you attach four 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 home. And you can share all kinds of files between computers -- music, digital pictures, and other documents. The two standard telephone jacks on the Router enable high-quality feature-rich telephone service through your high-speed connection even while you're surfing the Internet. Each phone jack operates independently -- like having two phone lines. With Vonage Internet Phone Service, you'll get low domestic and international phone rates, and lots of other available special phone features. 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. The powerful SPI firewall helps keep intruders out of your computers. Advanced users can set up QoS prioritization based on port or service type. With the Linksys Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports at the heart of your home network, you don't need to be a networking genius to share high-speed Internet, printers and files, and turn your Internet connection into a high-quality high-value telephone service.
