The Barricade provides Charter Communications Internet access to multiple users by sharing a single-user account. The Barricade features a WAN interface that allows you to connect either a DSL or cable modem. The Barricade provides extensive firewall protection and Virtual Private Network (VPN) services. The Barricade provides many cost-effective functions and management benefits. It is simple to configure and can be up and running in minutes.

Many advanced charter broadband internet applications are provided by the Barricade, such as:

• Charter Communications LAN Access
The Barricade provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps devices, making it easy to create a network in small offices or homes.

• Charter Communications Internet Access
This device supports Internet access through a DSL or cable connection. Since many DSL providers use PPPoE to establish communications with end users, the Barricade includes a built-in client for this protocol, eliminating the need to install this service on your computer.

• Charter Communications Shared IP Address
The Barricade shares a single IP address with up to 253 users. Using only one ISP account, multiple users on your network can simultaneously browse the Internet.

• Charter Communications Virtual Server
If you have a static IP address, you can set up the Barricade to act as a virtual host for network address translation. Remote users access various services at your site using the static IP address. Then, depending on the requested service (or port number), the Barricade routes the request to the appropriate server (at an internal network IP address). This secures your network from direct attack by hackers, and provides more flexible management by allowing you to change internal network IP addresses without affecting outside access to your network - Netgear® RT314 | Charter Router
