THE BROADBAND HOME GATEWAY
The 8157 works with seven Switched Fast Ethernet Ports. It allows up to 253 users to share a cable or DSL Internet connection, while providing the safety and security of both port blocking and a natural firewall.

Like broadband, the 8157 is always on, removing the need to constantly launch software when access is desired to the internet. No special software is required to connect to the 8157 so it will support any operating system from PC to Mac.

The model 8157 offers two levels of security. First, it masks local users’ IP addresses from others on the Internet making it much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. Secondly, it can block and redirect certain ports to limit the services that outside users can access.
