Just transfer the existing Internet settings you use right now into the DI-701 using the Windows software provided. Unlike the other two devices tested, the DI-701 did not allow for configuration via a Web browser. An incoming 10 Mbit Ethernet port is provided for a Cable, xDSL or other broadband adapter. The DI-701 will allow up to 32 computers to connect to the Internet through the same ISP account. The DI-701 will connect to any Ethernet device and any operating system that can connect to the Net.
Client computers require no additional software.
Simply set them to accept a dynamically-assigned IP address and reboot. For advanced users, 'Virtual Service' or port forwarding allows the DI-701 to provide limited visibility to local machines and their services as dictated by the user. It can also be used to re-task services to multiple servers. Linksys has had great success with these boxes and after getting ours, we can see why. This review will focus on the four-port model.
