Internet Router with Firewall
For your Internet connection - we recommend LinkSys, a division of Cisco. They have great Internet routers with Firewall protection built in. Different models handle wired or wireless networks. You can get these from Garnet Secure Systems. The Internet router with Firewall stands between your computers and the Internet.
Firewall configuration for maximum protection is best left to a pro!
In addition to a hardware based firewall, we recommend an additional software firewall for each PC as are included in the following Internet Security Software Packages.
