With the advent of broadband comes new user needs. Ranking high among them is the desire to share the IP address provided by your ISP among several users on a network. With broadband you're connected all the time, so another concern is a network security firewall that prevents hackers from gaining access to your files. SMC's Barricade is a top-quality router that addresses all these issues in one product. First and foremost, the Barricade allows up to 253 machines to share one IP address regardless of platform. Both PCs and Macs can be connected, running MacOS, Linux or Windows. Second, the Barricade is a first-rate firewall that doesn't allow anything to be shared with the outside world, unless it's directed to do so. To top it off, the barricade comes with a built-in print server which allows all machines on the network to share a remote printer. Whereas many routers are difficult to set up, the Barricade is configured automatically through an online configuration server, making it virtually plug-and-play. For quality, ease of use, and features, SMC's Barricade is the router/firewall of choice.
