Belkin F5D5230

INTRODUCTION

Belkin, a name that I have always associated with quality cables, produces other computer related products, including a 4-port cable/DSL router that we will be taking a look at. Standing vertical, with a contempory look, it is a far cry from the traditional flat rectangle style. Quite a desktop space saver even when coupled with a Belkin Network Switch by means of a unique docking ring. It can also be wall mounted with an adaptor that is available from Belkin. Share your internet connection with up to 4 computers, share your files and peripherals, protect your entire network against unauthorized access and allow access to your network from remote locations with VPN. The Belkin Router is advertised to be able to accomplish these tasks and carries a Lifetime Warranty and Free Technical Support. Compatible with Windows® 98, Windows® 2000, Windows® Me, Windows® XP and Mac OS up to Mac OS X and AppleTalk.
