Linksys Broadband EtherFast Cable/DSL Router Review
|
Anyone who has Cable
or DSL
Internet access needs protection. You
might think who would want to break into my PC? I don't keep any information
on my PC that anyone would be interested in. We thought that too, until
we got a few Trojan
viruses and our cable access seemed to bog down at times. Stealing information
is not the only reason that hackers break into computers. They will
break in for mischievous reasons, such as plant a virus, there are ways
to steal your bandwidth.
We heard about Linksys
Broadband EtherFast Cable/DSL Router
and decided to try it. We purchased the 1-port version, Built-in 10/100
Port, Supports up to 253 users. We have 2 computers connected to it
and one cable modem. The setup was easy, documentation was good.
After the Linksys
Etherfast Router was connected, we tested it by going to Shields
Up and other firewall testers listed in our PcTest
page. We passed with flying colors! We also tested it with BlackICE
Defender which
reported no attacks of any kind!
We are completely
satisfied with the Linksys Broadband EtherFast Cable/DSL Router
. We highly recommend
it!
Features:
4-port 10/100 switch instead of a hub
