RouteFinder RF802EW Quick Start Guide

Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of one of the finest broadband routers available today, Multi-

Tech System’s RouteFinder Model RF802EW.

The RouteFinder connects a cable or DSL modem to an Ethernet LAN to provide high-speed

broadband access to the Internet for up to 253 LAN clients using only 1 IP account. The

RF802EW features one asynchronous port that acts as a backup resource for Internet access

or serves as dial-in remote access for telecommuters or mobile users. The RouteFinder

RF802EW uses the NAT protocol to implement firewall and gateway security for LAN-based

resources. For added LAN security, the RouteFinder can be used to segment the LAN.

This solution is ideal for any small business looking for cost-effective broadband access to the

Internet for every LAN client on the LAN or for the home user looking to share their DSL cable

modem.
