What is a broadband router?
A router will enable your computers to share your broadband access. Your computers will need network adapters or wireless NIC cards if you have a laptop. The basic idea behind a broadband router is to allow two or more computers to share a broadband connection and acts as a traffic cop. The router uses a security technology called NAT (network address translation) to mask your computers address to the world. This ability prevents hackers from accessing your PC remotely.
