DSL Router
A DSL router is another common piece of DSL hardware. Unlike a DSL modem, however, it is not required for a DSL connection to operate. A DSL Router, sometimes also referred to (less accurately) as a "switch" or "hub," takes an incoming broadband connection and routs it into a number of incoming lines, usually 4. This is ideal if you have more than one computer you want your DSL connection to serve. However, keep in mind that all the computers you connect to a DSL router will be splitting the bandwidth they use, meaning that if two computers are running on the router at once, their internet connections will be half as fast.
