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

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

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
to
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)°

High Performance Wireless-N Router
Linksys E3000
Chapter 3: Advanced Configuration
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°
