The ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Firewall with Switch and USB Print Server from Netgear combines the functions of a wireless Internet router, a network switch, network firewall, and USB print server into one compact device. The router allows you to share your Internet connection between several computers Wi-Fi or via four 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 SOHO network.
Wired and Wireless Connections
In addition to providing wireless capabilities, the router has four standard 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet ports to allow you to connect computers and devices that do not have a wireless card installed. This gives you the ability to simply plug in your desktop computer to the router while accessing your network wirelessly via your laptop.
54 Mbps Speed
The 802.11g protocol allows for data rates of up to 54 Mbps when used with other 802.11g devices. The router is also fully backwards compatible with the older 11 Mbps 802.11b protocol and up to four devices can be connected via wired RJ-45 connections at 100 Mbps.
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.
USB Print Server
A print server for USB 2.0 printers is built into the router. The server handles multiple print jobs simultaneously, making it a great option for small offices.
