The i200 ADSL Modem Internal PCI Card

The i200 is an internal DSL modem that, when installed, negates the need for a separate NIC (Ethernet) network card. The modem is capable of full DSL rates up to 8 Mbps.

 

The 1300 ADSL External USB Modem

The i300 is an external modem that connects to your PC by a USB port, thereby negating the need for a separate NIC (Ethernet) network card. The i300 is very easy to install -- essentially it's just "plug-n'-play." An operating system of Windows 98 or higher is required to use USB.

     
 

The i500 ADSL Bridge/ Router

The i500 is a combination DSL modem and hardware router that provides distribution of a DSL connection over a network. The i500 provides al the advantages of a hardware router, including NAT (Network Address Translation) for up to 255 workstations, firewall protection, and "always on" capabilities to every workstation. The i500 does not include additional hub ports, so a separate hub with the appropriate number of ports for your network would also be required to complete the network setup.

 

The Linksys BEFSR41 - EtherFast 4-Port Cable/DSL Router

For those with small networks and who desire a router separate from their DSL modem, we can provide you with the Linksys BEFSR41 -- a hardware router that includes a built-in 4-port hub, negating the need for a separate hub (unless, of course, you have more than four PCs on your network). Because it is a router only, and therefore not specifically necessary for DSL connectivity, the BEFSR41 would be available at an additional charge over the setup fee.

     

The Linksys BEFW11S4 - EtherFast Wireless AP + Cable/DSL Router w/ 4-Port Switch

If you prefer your LAN wireless, we recommend the BEFW11S4 for low-power 802.11 wireless connectivity. Serving up to four stations, this router will allow connectivity with no cables to install -- connect anywhere in its range with your broadband DSL connection!
