Attach four computers directly, or connect more hubs
and switches to create as big a network as you need. The
Gateway ties it all together and lets your whole network
share that high-speed Internet connection. To protect

intruders and attackers out, and wireless transmissions
can be protected by powerful data encryption. Safeguard
your family with Parental Control features like Internet
