The more common DSL router is a standalone device that combines the function of a DSL modem and a router, and can connect multiple computers through multiple Ethernet ports or an integral wireless access point ([[id:ccab5008-e48e-413d-bcb5-c6771fa77a3d][WAP]]). Also called a residential gateway, a DSL router usually manages the connection and sharing of the DSL service in a home or small office network.
