Think of the Linksys Wireless Broadband Router's as a kind of "splitter" for your Internet connection. Just connect your Modem to the Router, and all the computers in your household can share the Internet -- all at the same time. You can connect your home computers directly to the Router with Ethernet cables, or put wireless network adapters in them and communicate over radio waves, saving the trouble and expense of running cables through your house.
Jump-start your wireless network! This Wireless-G Network Kit for Notebooks provides you with a Wireless-G Broadband Router (the heart of your network), and a Wireless-G Notebook Adapter to get your PC connected, quick and easy.
The Linksys Family of EtherFast Cable/DSL Routers are the perfect option for connecting multiple PCs to a high-speed Broadband Internet connection or to an Ethernet back-bone. Allowing up to 253 users, the built-in NAT technology acts as a firewall protecting your internal network.
