Product Information

The Linksys 819 8-Port 10/100 wired router (BEFSR81) allows you to share a single IP address throughout your entire home or office network. The 8-port switch functionally splits the Internet connection for all connected computers and devices.

The Linksys EtherFast BEFSR81 router offers a built-in firewall to protect your shared data and keep it safe from external intruders. Connection through the router requires a username and password. When you set up the router, change the default settings and select a username and password for your network. This password will need to be entered for any device connecting to the network. You can use the default settings to allow any users on the network to connect and administrators also have the ability to block Internet access for specific users with filtering. The Linksys BEFSR81 cable/DSL router offers a speed of 10/100 Mbps, CSMA/CD protocols, port security, packet filtering, 1/10 Mbps WAN port, 8 10/100 Mbps LAN ports, and much more.

The 8-port switch allows you to directly connect eight local PCs through the ports, and you have the capability to daisy chain to additional hubs and switches when the network grows, while continuing to share a single IP address.
