Hi you'all
 
Well I reread the manuals and talked to my friend and it all came as clear as a picture. The firmware is the install ware! No kidding! Boy I'm getting senile.This sucker comes with a print server as well so I can set up one laser printer for the whole network. Got into a bit of a problem though. The item was used at one (short) time and had an admin password set. So while it was on but the browser was closed I depressed the reset button and reopened the browser. Now the unit would allow me to enter as admin with no password: anonymous. So I set it up, (PPPoE) and as suggested by Tom McKim to change the password. Now its working fine. It has the following: NAT
Firewall, Gateway, VPN. So I get my IP Masquerade:) A BIG plus is that it only uses 16 watts, and the DSL router (modem)  uses 30. So sorry people that are in favor of using a 200 to 300 watt or better PC for a router this costs in the range of $50.00 to buy, and uses 16 watts of power. Dollar for dollar the little router units win!
 
Thanks, cAcTUsKId:)
