A router is a network device that manages the distribution of data to and from multiple devices on that network. Your customer/subscriber may already have a router attached between their DSL/Cable modem and their PC or they may need to purchase and install a DSL/Cable router on their network. A router will allow them to use the COTeL service and computer at the same time. Recommended routers are those that are DSL/cable web-safe and provide NAT (Network Address Translation) along with DHCP.
