The Barricade Cable/DSL Broadband Router (SMC7004VBR) is the ideal

The Barricade Broadband Router is the first router in its class to offer 

an integrated Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall. This firewall 

provides protection against hacker invasions, such as Denial of Service 

(DoS) attacks by analyzing individual data packets, as they pass through 

the Barricade, to ensure that only authorized packets are allowed access 

to the network. To control network access, parents or business owners 

can block certain web sites by entering either a URL address or just a 

keyword of the web site. In addition to these incredible features, this 

latest addition to the Barricade family provides hacker prevention and 

logging functionalities. For example, when a hacker attempts to access 

your network, the Barricade can alert you via email so you can take 

appropriate action.

provide connectivity simultaneous Internet access for up to 253 PC's
