SMC SMC7008BR Cable/DSL Router with 8 Port Switch

Amazon.com Product Description
Designed for small to midsized offices, the SMC cable/DSL router combines a multifunctional broadband router with a seven-port 10/100 Mbps dual-speed switch, a built-in print server, an RS232 COM port for modem connections, and an Internet firewall for extra security. A WAN port along with Network Address Translation (NAT) extend simultaneous Internet access for up to 253 PCs on a LAN. The router also supports VPN tunneling via PPTP/IPSec pass-through, allowing remote users secure access to their corporate infrastructure.

With auto-assigning of LAN and IP addresses, the SMC7008BR enables multiple users to connect to the Internet using a single WAN/IP address.

Included software ensures instant, self-configuring installation or your money back. The SMC cable/DSL router comes with a limited lifetime warranty and 24/7 technical support.

Product Description:
The Barricade broadband routers are an ideal all-in-one networking solution for home and small business users who require secure Internet sharing of a single cable, xDSL, ISDN, or 56K dial-up modem.

The Barricade provides a WAN port as well as Network Address Translation (NAT), which translates your WAN IP address into private LAN IP addresses keeping your internal network hidden from the rest of the Internet. Barricade fully supports VPN tunneling via PPTP/IPSec pass-through allowing remote users secure access to their corporate resources. The broadband router also allows the connection of multiple users to the Internet using a single WAN IP address. LAN IP addresses are auto-assigned and easily managed through DHCP Server Capability and the IP routing supports a wide range of popular applications.

Can you run a web/ftp server behing this rounter?.......2002-01-09

Can you run a webserver behind this router? Because you CAN'T do it with a SMC7004ABR

Thanks!

Great for a home network!.......2001-09-26

I just set up my home network for three PC's and a Mac, and I am very pleased with the results. Now, I'm downloading MP3's and music videos at blazing speeds from every computer in the house. I enabled the print server for two of the PC's without difficulties and even got my intranet web server to work. I can't wait to host a networked computer game.

The configuration of the router was fairly easy, but could have been more straight-forward. The manual was written for people who get their IP addresses assigned dynamically. I have my own static IP address and had to fiddle with the menu options. (Fortunately, I just finished a Cisco CCNA networking class and was confident with my solution.)

Does it all!.......2001-09-16

I've been through the whole progression of sharing the cable modem at my house for 5 home PC's and my work laptop. I started with the Microsoft solution of ICS (I specifically upgraded to Windows 98 SE to get that feature). I used thinnet on my home network and it worked ok but having to have the one PC on for the rest was awkard and it was slow for the kids multiplayer games. I then moved on to a SMC 7004BR router and it was bliss. Easy setup except the printer sharing. Even there I called their support and they walked me through it. I have since stepped up to the 7008BR for two locations I manage and these are better than the 7004BR (Faster too). I cannot recommend them enough.

This is a great NAT Router. I will not bore you with repeating all the tech specs, but the install was quick and easy. The chassis is made of metal, and uses a standard PC power cable. (Yep, you don't need an special power adapter). It has a nice large power switch on the rear also. The only problem I had was installing a HP DeskJet 722c printer. The problem is caused by the HP drivers. HP specifically writes drivers so that one must purchase a JetDirect box to network thier low-end printers. Turned out that I had to use 10.1 drivers instead of the 10.3 to workaround this problem. All in all this is a great product that deserves a five star rating.

Fast, easy, no hassle.......2001-06-11

The unit installs easily, seems to work fine. Download speeds are just about even with my old Linksys BEFSR41, but the printer port and backup modem port are very nice additions. I'm very happy with it. My only gripe is that the only printed docs are a quick-reference card - the manual is on a CD-ROM, and I'd have preferred to get a hardcopy, too.
