Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports. This Router will allow you

to network wirelessly better than ever, sharing Internet access, files and fun, easily and securely. Plus, after you

have set up your

babyTEL

service, you can make phone or fax calls using your Internet connection.

How does the Router do all of this? A router is a device that allows access to an Internet connection over a

network. With the Wireless-G Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports, this access can be shared over the four

switched ports or via the wireless broadcast at either up to 11Mbps for Wireless-B or up to 54Mbps for

Wireless-G. In addition, the WPA standard provides greater security opportunities while the whole network is

protected through NAT technology. All of these security features, as well as full configurability, are accessed

through the easy-to-use browser-based utility.

But what does all of this mean?

Networks are useful tools for sharing Internet access and computer resources. Multiple computers can share

Internet access, so you don’t need more than one high-speed Internet connection. After you have set up your

babyTEL

account, you can also use your Internet access to make Internet phone or fax calls, even

while you’re surfing the Internet. Plus, you can access one printer from different computers and access data

located on another computer’s hard drive. Networks are even used for playing multiplayer video games. All the

while, the Router protects your networks from unauthorized and unwelcome users. So, networks not only are

useful in homes and offices, but also can be fun.

PCs on a wired network create a LAN, or Local Area Network. They are connected with Ethernet cables, which is

why the network is called “wired”.

ethernet

: an IEEE standard network

protocol that specifies how data is

placed on and retrieved from a common

transmission medium.

lan

(local area network): the computers

and networking products that make up

the network in your home or office.

browser

: an application program that

provides a way to look at and interact

with all the information on the World

Wide Web.

mbps

: one million bits per second; a unit

of measurement for data transmission.

nat

(network address translation): NAT

technology translated IP addresses of a

local area network to a different IP

address for the Internet.

wpa

(wi-fi protected access): a wireless

security protocol using TKIP (Temporal

Key Integrity Protocol) encryption, which

can be used in conjunction with a

RADIUS server.

Chapter 1: Introduction

What’s in this Guide?

PCs equipped with wireless cards or adapters can communicate without cumbersome cables. By sharing the

same wireless settings, within their transmission radius, they form a wireless network, which is sometimes

called a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). The Router bridges wireless networks of both 802.11b and

802.11g standards and wired networks, allowing them to communicate with each other.

To create your network, install and set up the Router. To guide you through the process, Linksys strongly

recommends that you run the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM. If you prefer to manually set up the Router,

use the instructions in this User Guide to help you. These instructions should be all you need to get the most out

of the Wireless-G Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports.

What’s in this Guide?

This guide covers the basic steps for setting up a network with a router. After going through “Chapter 3: Getting

to Know the Router,” most users will only need to use the following chapters:

•

Chapter 4: Connecting the Router

This chapter instructs you on how to connect the Router to your cable or DSL modem, PCs, and telephones

(or fax machines).

•

Chapter 5: Configuring the Router

This chapter explains how to configure the Router using your web browser and the Router’s Web-based

Utility. You will configure the Router using the settings provided by your ISP.

When you’re finished with the basic steps, then you are ready to connect to the Internet.
