INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the XRouter Pro MIH-130 Internet
Sharing Hub. The XRouter Pro functions as an easy-to-use communi-
cation device that allows you to connect a local area network (LAN) to
the Internet affordably. With the XRouter Pro you can get as many as
252 Macintosh or PC users online simultaneously through just one
cable line or DSL, and one ISP account. The XRouter Pro installs
quickly and easily, and best of all, it’s a breeze to use.
Sharing Internet Access
The XRouter Pro provides high-speed Internet access to multiple
users by splitting the bandwidth from a cable line or from DSL (Digital
Subscriber Line) into tiny portions and then routing these bandwidth
“slices” to almost any number of Internet users. The fewer the number
of users online at any one time, the faster the service each individual
receives. Internet users on different nodes are not limited to looking at
the same Web pages. Each node is functionally independent from the
other nodes connected to the XRouter Pro.
Modems Supported
The XRouter Pro supports cable modems and DSL modems. The
XRouter Pro has one WAN (Wide Area Network) port for connecting
the unit to either a cable modem or a DSL modem. Either technology
should provide more than enough bandwidth to accommodate the
needs of even large groups of Internet users.
Built-in DHCP Server
The XRouter Pro’s built-in DHCP Server dramatically reduces the
configuration and maintenance effort by allowing you to automatically
configure the TCP/IP setting of computers over a local area network.
