Thread: how to share internet connection using a single port router

Actually, my modem is a make of UTSTARCOM model UT300R2U which they say is a ADSL 2+ modem/router with one usb port and one ethernet port. What i ask is, can i use this modem and a network switch to share the internet to my PCs or i must go for another broadband router. Would that be safe against attacks using this modem/router?.. Does this modem/router provides firewall protection?...

Idea is: lANport for one computer and USB Port for another.
How many PC's you have ?
see the link hardware secrets given in above thread.

Friend, you need to look at Broadband How to section. There is a wealth of information out there.

i have 3 pcs in my home

yes mate.. you could connect a hub or switch to the router and share internet to all 3 pcs.. just ensure that you are on ppoe mode..i.e. internet works as soon as you switch on modem. no dialing required.. follow this for ppoe mode UT-300R2U ADSL MODEM MULTIUSER CONFIGURATION step 3 to 8
