Introduction
•
Automatic Configuration of Attached PCs by DHCP
The WGR614 router dynamically assigns network configuration information, including
IP, gateway, and domain name server (DNS) addresses, to attached PCs on the LAN using the
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This feature greatly simplifies configuration
of PCs on your local network.
•
DNS Proxy
When DHCP is enabled and no DNS addresses are specified, the router provides its own
address as a DNS server to the attached PCs. The router obtains actual DNS addresses from
the ISP during connection setup and forwards DNS requests from the LAN.
•
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
PPPoE is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over a DSL connection by
simulating a dial-up connection. This feature eliminates the need to run a login program such
as Entersys or WinPOET on your PC.
Easy Installation and Management
You can install, configure, and operate the Model WGR614 Cable/DSL Wireless Router within
minutes after connecting it to the network. The following features simplify installation and
management tasks:

of personal computer, such as Windows, Macintosh, or Linux. A user-friendly Setup Wizard is

Interface.
•

TM
