Cable/DSL Router
with 4-Port Switch
BEFSR41
Model No.
Think of the EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port Switch 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 house-
hold 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 house. And you can share all kinds of
files between computers—music, digital pictures, and other docu-
ments. Keep all your digital music on one computer, and listen to it
anywhere in the house. Organize all of your family's digital pictures
in one place, to simplify finding the ones you want, and ease
backup to CD-R. Play head-to-head computer games within the
household, or against Internet opponents. Utilize extra free space
on one computer when another's hard drive starts to fill up.
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 auto-
matically. Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) lets specialized Internet
applications configure the Router so you don't have to. Built-in NAT
technology helps you protect your family while the Router helps
keep intruders out of your computers.
With the EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port Switch at the heart
of your home network, you don't need to be a networking genius to
share printers, files, and your high-speed Internet connection.
