Wireless-G Router for 3G/UMTS Broadband
The Setup Tab - DDNS
The Router 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 Router. 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.

The Setup Tab - MAC Address Clone
A MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique piece of hardware for identification. Some ISPs will
require you to register a MAC address in order to access the Internet.
If you do not wish to re-register the MAC
address with your ISP, you may assign the MAC address you have currently registered with your ISP to the Router
with the MAC Address Clone feature.
MAC Clone
Enable/Disable
. To have the MAC Address cloned, click the radio button beside

Wireless-G Router for 3G/UMTS Broadband
The Setup Tab - Advanced Routing
This tab is used to set up the Router’s advanced functions. Operating Mode allows you to select the type(s) of
advanced functions you use. Dynamic Routing will automatically adjust how packets travel on your network. Static
Routing sets up a fixed route to another network destination.
Advanced Routing
Operating Mode
. Select the mode in which this Router will function. If this Router is hosting your network’s
connection to the Internet, select
Gateway
. If another Router exists on your network, select
Router
. When Router is
chosen,
Dynamic Routing
will be enabled.
Dynamic Routing
RIP
. Dynamic Routing 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. This feature is
Disabled
by default. From the drop-
down menu, you can also select
LAN & Wireless
, which performs dynamic routing over your Ethernet and wireless
networks. You can also select
WAN
, which performs dynamic routing with data coming from the Internet. Finally,
selecting
Both
enables dynamic routing for both networks, as well as data from the Internet.
Static Routing
Select set number
. To set up a static route between the Router and another network, select a number from the
Static Routing
drop-down list. (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. (Click the
Delete This Entry
button to delete a static route.)
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.
Default Gateway
. This is the IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between the Router and
the remote network or host.

The Wireless Tab - Basic Wireless Settings
The basic settings for wireless networking are set on this screen.
Wireless Network
Wireless Network Mode
. From this drop-down menu, you can select the wireless standards running on your
network. If you have both 802.11g and 802.11b devices in your network, keep the default setting,
Mixed
. If you
have only 802.11g devices, select
G-Only
. If you have only 802.11b devices, select
B-Only
. If you do not have any
802.11g and 802.11b devices in your network, select
Disable
.
Wireless Network Name (SSID)
. The SSID is the network name shared among all devices in a wireless network.
The SSID must be identical for all devices in the wireless network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32
characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard). Make sure this setting is the same for all devices in your
wireless network. For added security, you should change the default SSID (
linksys
) to a unique name.
Wireless Channel
. Select the appropriate channel from the list provided to correspond with your network
settings. All devices in your wireless network must be broadcast on the same channel in order to function
correctly.
Wireless SSID Broadcast
. When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks to associate with,
they will detect the SSID broadcast by the Router. To broadcast the Router's SSID, keep the default setting,
Enable
. If you do not want to broadcast the Router's SSID, then select
Disable
.

Wireless-G Router for 3G/UMTS Broadband
The Wireless Tab - Wireless Security
The Wireless Security settings configure the security of your wireless network. There are four wireless security
mode options supported by the Router: WPA Personal, WPA2 Personal, WPA Enterprise (also known as WPA-
RADIUS), WPA2 Enterprise, RADIUS, and WEP. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, which is a security
standard stronger than WEP encryption. WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, while RADIUS stands for
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) These four are briefly discussed here. For detailed instructions on
configuring wireless security for the Router, turn to “Appendix B: Wireless Security.”
Wireless Security
WPA Personal
. WPA gives you two encryption methods, TKIP and AES, with dynamic encryption keys. Select the
type of algorithm,
TKIP
+
AES
,
or
AES
. Enter a WPA Shared Key of 8-63 characters. Then enter a Group Key
Renewal period, which instructs the Router how often it should change the encryption keys.
Change these settings as described here, and click the
Save Settings
button to apply your changes or
Cancel
Changes
to cancel your changes.
WPA2 Personal
. WPA2 automatically uses TKIP + AES, or AES with dynamic encryption keys. Enter a WPA
Shared Key of 8-63 characters. Then enter a Group Key Renewal period, which instructs the Router how often it
should change the encryption keys.
Change these settings as described here, and click the
Save Settings
button to apply your changes or

Personal - TKIP+AES)
Figure 8-25: Wireless Tab - Wireless Security (WPA
Personal - AES)
IMPORTANT:
If you are using WPA or WPA2, always remember that each device in your
wireless network MUST use the same WPA method and shared key, or else the network will not
function properly.
Figure 8-26: Wireless Tab - Wireless Security (WPA2
Personal - TKIP+AES)
IMPORTANT:
Linksys strongly recommends that you enable wireless security on your
wireless network. Otherwise, unauthorised users may be able to access the Internet using
your service and incur additional charges. You are liable for any and all additional charges
from your service provider.
