The document compares SOHO routers and Linux servers for network use. SOHO routers have advantages of being easy to use, low cost, and suitable for small networks. However, they have limitations in security, speed, number of supported clients, and network applications. Linux servers offer faster speeds, full security and firewall features, but require more technical expertise and maintenance. The document then describes an embedded PC router product that combines the advantages of both by using a network OS on an embedded PC board for stability, performance, and full-featured functionality.
