1. Introduction This Broadband Router includes 4 10/100Mbps switch ports and a USB printer port. It provides a complete solution for Internet surfing and office resources sharing. This 4 Port Internet Broadband Router provides a simple, efficient, and cost-effective solution for LAN/Internet, especially for SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) users to share the Internet resources simultaneously using one ISP (Internet Service Provider) account. It also supports a wide range of LAN-WAN connectivity media.

1.3 Package Content • One 4 Port Internet Broadband Router • One Power adapter • One CD-ROM • One set of Bracket • Quick Install Guide 1.4 Glossary • LAN – Local Area Network Local Area Networking (LAN) is the term used when connecting several computers together over a small area such as a building or group of buildings. LAN's can be connected over large areas. A collection of LAN's connected over a large area is called a Wide Area Network (WAN). A LAN consists of multiple computers connected to each other.
A firewall watches all of the information moving to and from your network and analyzes each piece of data. Each piece of data is checked against a set of criteria that the administrator configures. If any data does not meet the criteria, that data is blocked and discarded. If the data meets the criteria, the data is passed through. This method is called packet filtering. A firewall can also run specific security functions based on the type of application or type of port that is being used.
This is where NAT comes to the rescue. Network Address Translation allows a single device, such as a router, to act as an agent between the Internet (or "public network") and a local (or "private") network. This means that only a single, unique IP address is required to represent an entire group of computers. • Printer Server Printer Server allow networked PC sharing the same printer on the network, only the networked PC has printer driver without physical connection directly with printer.

It’s a method the hackers use to prevent or deny legitimate users access to a computer. DoS attacks are typically executed using DoS tools that send many requests packets to a targeted Internet server (usually Web, FTP, or Mail server), which floods the server's resources, making the system unusable.
