Setup > MAC Address Clone

Some ISPs will require you to register a MAC address

in order to access the Internet° A MAC address is a

12-digit code assigned to a unique piece of hardware for

identification° If you do not wish to re-register the MAC

address with your ISP, you can use the MAC Address Clone

feature to assign the currently registered MAC address to

the Router°

Dynamic Routing (RIP)

Enabled/Disabled

This feature enables the Router to

automatically adjust to physical changes in the network’s

layout and exchange routing tables with the other

router(s)° The Router determines the network packets’

route based on the fewest number of hops between

the source and the destination° When the NAT setting is

enabled, the Dynamic Routing feature is automatically

disabled° When the NAT setting is disabled, this feature

is available° Select

Static Routing

A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network

information must travel to reach a specific host or

network° Enter the information described below to set up

a new static route°

Route Entries

To set up a static route between the Router

and another network, select a number from the drop-

down list° Click

Delete This Entry

Enter Route Name

Enter a name for the Route here,

using a maximum of 25 alphanumeric characters°

Destination LAN IP

The Destination LAN IP is the address

of the remote network or host to which you want to assign

a static route°

Subnet

Mask

The

Subnet

Mask

determines

which

portion of a Destination LAN IP address is the network

portion, and which portion is the host portion°

Gateway

This is the IP address of the gateway device that

allows for contact between the Router and the remote

network or host°

Interface

This interface tells you whether the Destination

IP Address is on the

LAN & Wireless

(Ethernet and wireless

networks) or the

Internet

Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings

The basic settings for wireless networking are set on this

screen°

There are two ways to configure the Router’s wireless

network(s), manual and Wi-Fi Protected Setup°

Wi-Fi Protected Setup is a feature that makes it easy to set

up your wireless network° If you have client devices, such

as wireless adapters, that support Wi-Fi Protected Setup,

then you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup°

Simultaneous Networks

For more wireless bandwidth, the Router can create two

simultaneous yet separate Wireless-N networks, one using

the Wireless-N 5 GHz band and one using the Wireless-N

2°4 GHz band° You can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup to

easily configure and connect to both networks (refer to

Wi-Fi Protected Setup

page 21

), or you can manually

configure the Router°

If you use manual configuration, then set up each network

with the following:

•

Unique Network Name (SSID)

•

Wireless

security

settings

(refer

5 GHz or 2.4 GHz Wireless Security

page 22

)

Decide which computers and other wireless devices

should join which network° Wireless-N devices support

both the 5 GHz and 2°4 GHz bands, so they can join either

the 5 GHz or 2°4 GHz network° Wireless-G and Wireless-B

devices support only the 2°4 GHz band, so they should

join the 2°4 GHz network° Wireless-A devices support only

the 5 GHz band, so they should join the 5 GHz network°

For the 5 GHz network, configure all computers and other

wireless devices with the same 5 GHz Network Name

(SSID) and wireless security settings° For the 2°4 GHz

network, configure all computers and other wireless

devices with the same 2°4 GHz Network Name (SSID) and

wireless security settings°

NOTE:

Make sure each network uses a unique

Network Name (SSID)°

Wireless Configuration (Manual)

Your Linksys E3000 can run two networks at the same

time, one network using the 5 GHz radio frequency band

and the other network using the 2°4 GHz radio frequency

band° This allows you to isolate higher-priority traffic, such

as video and voice applications, on the 5 GHz network,

which is less prone to interference°

The computers and devices running your video and voice

applications can use the 5 GHz network, while your guest

access and computers that are only browsing the web can

use the 2°4 GHz network°
