this mode.
Internet Connection Type > Bridge Mode Only
Optional Settings
Some of these settings may be required by your ISP. Verify
with your ISP before making any changes.
Optional Settings
Host Name and Doma±n Name
These fields allow you
to supply a host and domain name for the Gateway.
Some ISPs, usually cable ISPs, require these names as
identification. You may have to check with your ISP to see
if your broadband Internet service has been configured
with a host and domain name. In most cases, leaving these
fields blank will work.
MTU
MTU is the Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies
the largest packet size permitted for Internet transmission.
Select
Manual
if you want to manually enter the largest
packet size that is transmitted. To have the Gateway select
the best MTU for your Internet connection, keep the
default,
Auto
.
S±ze
When Manual is selected in the
MTU
field, this option
is enabled. Leave this value in the 1200 to 1500 range. The
default, MTU is configured automatically.
Network Setup
The Network Setup section changes the settings on the
network connected to the Gateway’s Ethernet ports.
Wireless setup is performed through the Wireless tab.
Gateway IP
The values for the Gateway’s Local IP Address and Subnet
Mask are shown here. In most cases, keeping the default
values will work.
Gateway IP
Local IP Address
The default value is
192.1´8.1.1
.
Subnet Mask
The default value is
2³³.2³³.2³³.0
.
Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)
The settings allow you to configure the Gateway’s Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server function. The
Gateway can be used as a DHCP server for your network.
A DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to each
computer on your network. If you choose to enable the
Gateway’s DHCP server option, make sure there is no
other DHCP server on your network.
Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)
DHCP Server
A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server automatically assigns an IP address to each
computer on your network for you. Unless you already
have one, Linksys recommends that you keep the default,
Enable
. You can also use the Gateway in DHCP Relay
mode. (This setting is not available for all encapsulation
types.)
DHCP Server
If you enable the DHCP Relay mode for the
DHCP Server setting, enter the IP address for the DHCP
relay server in the fields provided. (This setting is not
available for all encapsulation types.)
Start±ng IP Address
Enter a value for the DHCP server
to start with when issuing IP addresses. Because the
Gateway’s default IP address is 192.168.1.1, the Starting IP
Address must be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but smaller than
192.168.1.253. The default is
192.1´8.1.100
.
Max±mum Number of DHCP Users
Enter the maximum
number of users (network devices) that can obtain an IP
address. The number will vary depending on the starting
IP address entered and cannot be greater than 253. The
default is
³0
.
Cl±ent Lease T±me
The Client Lease Time is the amount
of time a network device will be allowed connection to
the Gateway with its current dynamic IP address. Enter the
number of minutes that the device will be “leased” this
dynamic IP address. After the time is up, the device will
be automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address. The
default is
0
minutes, which means one day.
Stat±c DNS 1-3
The Domain Name System (DNS) is how
the Internet translates domain or website names into
Internet addresses or URLs. At least one DNS server IP
address is provided by your ISP. You can enter up to three

Setup > DDNS
The Gateway offers a Dynamic Domain Name System
(DDNS) feature. DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and
domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address. It is useful
when you are hosting your own website, FTP server, or
other server behind the Gateway.
Before you can use this feature, you need to sign
up for DDNS service with a DDNS service provider,
www.dyndns.org or www.TZO.com. If you do not want to
use this feature, keep the default,
D±sabled

Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings
The basic settings for wireless networking are set on this
screen.
Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings
There are two ways to configure the Gateway’s wireless
settings,
manual
and
SecureEasySetup.
For
manual
configuration, use this screen to change the settings.
SecureEasySetup is a feature that makes it easy to set up
your wireless network. If you have devices that support
SecureEasySetup,
run
the
Gateway’s
Setup
Wizard
CD-ROM and follow the on-screen instructions to use
SecureEasySetup.
NOTE:
SecureEasySetup ONLY uses WPA-Personal
with TKIP security. If your current wireless devices
do not support WPA-Personal security OR you
want to use WPA2 security, then you cannot use
SecureEasySetup on your network. You need to
manually configure the security settings for your
wireless network.
Wireless Network
W±reless Network Mode
Select the wireless standards
running on your network. If you have Wireless-G and
Wireless-B devices in your network, keep the default,
M±xed
. If you have only Wireless-G devices, select
G-Only
.
If you have only Wireless-B devices, select
B-Only
. If you
do not have any wireless devices, select
D±sabled
.
W±reless Network Name (SSID)
The network name is
case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters (use any
of the characters on the keyboard). Linksys recommends
that you change the default,
l±nksys
, to a unique name of
your choice.
W±reless Channel
Select the channel you want to use.
All devices in your wireless network must use the same
channel in order to communicate.
W±reless SSID Broadcast
When wireless devices survey
the local area for wireless networks to associate with, they
will detect the wireless network name or SSID broadcast
by the Gateway. If you want to broadcast the Gateway’s
SSID, keep the default,
Enable
. Otherwise, select
D±sable

screen configures the security
of your wireless network(s). There are four wireless
security mode options supported by the Gateway:
WPA2-Personal, WPA2-Mixed, WPA Personal, and WEP.
(WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, which is a
security standard stronger than WEP encryption, and
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy.) These four
are briefly discussed here. For detailed instructions on
configuring wireless security for the Gateway, refer to
“Chapter 2: Wireless Security”.
NOTE:
If you used SecureEasySetup to configure
your wireless network(s), then wireless security
has already been set up. Do not make changes
to the
Wireless Security
screen.
Wireless Security
Secur±ty Mode
