Linksys is fast making a name for itself in the networking world
and the EtherFast Cable/DSL Instant Broadband Router is one of the reasons why.
This router lets you connect a group of PCs (up to 253) to a high-speed
broadband Internet connection but instead of requiring you to buy a separate hub
to connect them all, Linksys made the extra effort and built the hub in. A WAN
(Wide Area Network) port on the back of the router connects the Cable/DSL
router, four Ethernet ports and a separate uplink port for expanding the network
with an additional hub or switch.
