Routers - Home / Small Office

Have you ever wanted to share your broadband internet connection through your house or office with more than one computer? The implementation of a router in your network will enable you to do this. A router is a device that allows one network to connect to another network. The most common use of a router is to share one internet connection amongst several users. Routers have different speeds and use different methods of connecting a computer to a network. A router can be either wired or wireless and is a great way to share your DSL, cable or T1 internet connection.
