How the Router Works
The router implements an IP-sharing feature. With only one physical IP address to access the Internet it is
impossible for all computers within the home or office network to use the same IP address to gain access to
the Internet at the same time. However, using the BOSS™, all computers within the home or office network

virtual IP address to access to the Internet.
