Welcome to the world of networking with 3Com
business environment, communication and sharing information is crucial.
Computer networks have proved to be one of the fastest modes of
communication but, until recently, only large businesses could afford the
networking advantage.
The ADSL 11g Wireless Router is designed to provide a cost-effective
means of sharing a single broadband Internet connection amongst
several wired and wireless computers. The Router also provides protection
in the form of an electronic "firewall" preventing anyone outside of your
network from seeing your files or damaging your computers. The Router
can also prevent your users from accessing Web sites which you find
unsuitable.
Figure 1 shows an example network without a Router. In this network,
only one computer is connected to the Internet. This computer must
always be powered on for the other computers on the network to access
the Internet.
