The EtherFast Cable/DSL Firewall Router with 4-Port Switch/VPN Endpoint from Linksys combines the functions of a Cable/DSL router, a VPN gateway, a network switch and network firewall into one compact device. The router allows you to share your Internet connection between several computers that can connect via 4 standard RJ-45 ethernet ports. The router also features a firewall to protect you from malicious software that can attack your computer from the Internet, making it an excellent choice for your home network.
Simple Installation
The setup wizard utility makes installation a breeze, even for novice users. This makes it an excellent starting point for setting up a home network.
Integrated Firewall
The router features a powerful firewall to help protect your computer against malicious attacks that often target computers connected to the Internet, giving you peace of mind while you are connected to the web. The firewall features advanced tools that protect your computer from Ping of Death, SYN Flood, Land Attack, IP Spoofing and other Denial of Service attacks.
VPN Tunneling
The router works as a Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateway, allowing for up to 2 simultaneous VPN tunnels. This lets you securely access your home network from another location.
DMZ Port
The router features a dedicated DMZ port that allows you to connect a computer directly to the Internet, bypassing the integrated firewall. This allows advanced users to connect a computer on their network in order to work with applications that a firewall may interfere.
