Think of the Linksys Wireless-B Broadband Router 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 household can
share the Internet -- all at the same time. You can connect your
home computers directly to the Router with Ethernet cables, or put
wireless network adapters in them and communicate over radio
waves, saving the trouble and expense of running cables through
your house.
Once your computers are connected to the Router, they can com-
municate with each other too, sharing resources and files. All your
computers can print on a shared printer connected anywhere in the
house. And your computers can share all kinds of files -- music, dig-
ital pictures, and documents. 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 easing backup to CD-R. Play head-to-head com-
puter games within the household, or against Internet opponents.
Utilize extra free space on one computer when another's hard drive
starts to fill up.
Your home network is secure, too. All wireless communications are
protected by 128-bit encryption. The Router helps keep intruders out
of your computers.
It's all easier than you think -- the included Setup Wizard takes you
through configuring your network, step by step. With the Linksys Wire-
less-B Broadband Router at the heart of your home network, you
don't need to be a networking genius to share printers, files, and your
Internet connection -- with or without wires.

Verified Linksys products have

trino™ Mobile Technology for
compatibility and interopera-
bility, further enhancing your
wireless experience.
