The Cisco 826 and Cisco SOHO 76 series routers can connect a corporate telecommuter or small office to a central office or an Internet service provider (ISP) over an asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL).
The router is capable of bridging and multiprotocol routing between the LAN and WAN ports.
