When precisely should the router be used?
As a matter of fact, wherever computers need to be joined together and a simple modem
operation no longer fits the bill. An example is the use of the Internet in the LAN.
Many companies are experiencing an increasing demand for Internet access from all
workstations on the LAN. Online research, file transfer and e-mail are just some of the
applications intended to lighten the workload of those working at a PC.
The router links all the workstation computers on your local area network to the global
Internet. Security features such as IP masquerading not only save you money but also
shield your network against access from outside.
