LAN VPN Router

When Internet connectivity is critical, two separate Internet Service Providers (ISPs) may be used. The second ISP may be used as a hot backup that will automatically switch on if the primary Internet connection goes down. The Cisco Linksys RV042 Load Balancing 2 port WAN 4 port LAN VPN Router is one of the devices used for switching ISP connections.

LAN internet connection

Though DSL and Cable are the most popular internet connections, LAN broadband internet connections are also common. The main internet cable is routed to a hub and then the RJ45 cables are distributed to different connections.
The ISP (in this case Tata Indicom ) has to depend on the cable operator for network uptime.
Compared to cable and EVDO connections , this type of internet connection has very frequent downtimes.

After you connect the ethernet cable to your laptop or PC and try to navigate to any website, you are taken to a login page, where you input your user name and password.
It is recommended that you log out after you finish surfing.
In case, there is no power supply in the area, the connection is affected.

Using a splitter vs direct connection

If you plug and unplug the main ethernet cable (RJ45 / CAT5) often, the connector can get damaged. If you are using an internet connection with frequent downtimes, a problem with connectors can make troubleshooting more difficult.

In such cases it is better to use a splitter and 1 or 2 RJ45 cables , so that the damage due to wear and tear is minimized.
RJ45 Cables which are 1.5 m long cost less than $1 (Rs 40)
A splitter costs about $ 2.5 (Rs 100)
It also makes it easier to connect to multiple computers or a desktop / notebook combination .
