Multiple wireless clients can also securely connect to the network using 64-bit or 128-bit WEP data encryption.

A built-in print server function allows you to share out your favorite printer with home and office users so they can print web pages and other files. Your printer can be attached to this router through a USB interface. In addition, an integrated 4-port switch allows ready connection of up to 4 computers. This saves you the cost of purchasing and installing a separate switch for network computer connections.
