What can I do with a 2516 router in a home environment?<br />
Cable Modem, LInksys 4port router and several PC's..<br />
<br />
It's got 14 ethernet ports, dual serial, and an ISDN port..<br />
<br />
My question is, can I connect it to my cable modem?<br />
What other environments can I emulate?<br />
And how can the 14 ethernet ports be used?<br />
<br />
I know it is primarily a PPP to Ethernet router, but couldn't find any other info on the net.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
