Linksys by Cisco RVL200 4 Port SSL/IPSec VPN Broadband Router

A Broadband Router connection is usually the best way to connect to your high speed Broadband connection. Broadband Routers allow multiple users to use your Internet service at the same time so everyone can enjoy high-end Internet functions like streaming video and audio. Share files, printers and other peripherals, most broadband routers also provide a much safer internet connection with built-in firewall security preventing unauthorised access of your network from the internet.

Broadband routers can only be used via a Cable modem connection. Broadband routers (Cable/DSL Routers) don't have built-in modems and are primarily used with Cable Modem broadband where the Ethernet broadband modem is supplied by your ISP. The router must be fed the internet connection via Ethernet and so cannot be used with ADSL USB modems. Some routers can be used on ADSL Broadand with a separate ADSL Ethernet Modem. Should you need to expand the number of ports, you'll need a switch to connect to.
