LINKSYS RT042 BROADBAND ROUTER WITH QOS

Think of the Linksys Broadband Router with QoS as a kind of "splitter" for your Internet connection. Just connect your DSL or Cable Modem to the Router, and all the computers in your home or office can share the Internet - all at the same time. Use the built-in 4-port switch to attach four local PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches as your network grows. Auto MDI/MDI-X cross-over detection means you don't have to worry about the cable type. The Router's QoS (Quality of Service) feature lets you define how much of the available bandwidth each of the devices on your network will get. This means that you can prioritize time-sensitive data like VoIP phone calls or streaming media ahead of less sensitive email and web surfing. The dual Internet ports let you optionally connect a second Internet line for additional bandwidth.
