For example, you can configure the Barricade to function as a virtual server for services you would like to set up behind the router's NAT-based firewall. You can also make more sophisticated networking settings from the Advanced menu tab. The Barricade also has a parallel port, but because new printers typically connect via USB, most home users will have difficulty finding a use for it.

The Barricade also has an RS-232 serial port for connecting to an ISDN terminal adapter or a POTS analog modem the latter is a handy backup if your broadband service becomes temporarily unavailable. It includes three 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports and a 10Mbps WAN port for connecting your cable/DSL modem. The $178 Barricade offers an impressive array of ports. It also offers excellent performance and an impressive set of security features to protect your network from the most common hacker attacks.
But despite its modest appearance, it offers more connection ports than any other home router we've tested, with the exception of the Siemens SpeedStream Wireless DSL/cable router.
