Welcome

EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port Switch

Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port Switch. This Router will allow your computers

to share a high-speed Internet connection as well as resources, including files and printers.

How does the Router do all of this? By connecting your computers and peripherals to the Router and connecting

the Router to your cable or DSL modem, then the Router can direct and control communications for your network.

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. 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. 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”.

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 the Quick Installation or this User Guide to help you. These instructions should be all you need

to get the most out of the Router.

Chapter 2: Networking Basics

An Introduction to Local Area Networks

EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port Switch

Chapter 2: Networking Basics

An Introduction to Local Area Networks

Simply put, a router is a network device that connects two networks together.

The Router connects your local area network (LAN), or the group of PCs in your home or office, to the Internet. The

Router processes and regulates the data that travels between these two networks.

The Router’s Network Address Translation (NAT) technology protects your network of PCs so users on the Internet

cannot “see” your PCs. This is how your LAN remains private. The Router protects your network by inspecting the

first packet coming in through the Internet port before delivery to the final destination on one of the Ethernet

ports. The Router inspects Internet port services like the web server, ftp server, or other Internet applications,

and, if allowed, it will forward the packet to the appropriate PC on the LAN side.

The Use of IP Addresses

IP stands for Internet Protocol. Every device in an IP-based network, including PCs, print servers, and routers,

requires an IP address to identify its location, or address, on the network. This applies to both the Internet and

LAN connections.

There are two ways of assigning IP addresses to your network devices.

A static IP address is a fixed IP address that you assign manually to a PC or other device on the network. Since a

static IP address remains valid until you disable it, static IP addressing ensures that the device assigned it will

always have that same IP address until you change it. Static IP addresses are commonly used with network

devices such as server PCs or print servers.

If you use the Router to share your cable or DSL Internet connection, contact your ISP to find out if they have

assigned a static IP address to your account. If so, you will need that static IP address when configuring the

Router. You can get the information from your ISP.

A dynamic IP address is automatically assigned to a device on the network. These IP addresses are called

dynamic because they are only temporarily assigned to the PC or other device. After a certain time period, they

expire and may change. If a PC logs onto the network (or the Internet) and its dynamic IP address has expired, the

DHCP server will assign it a new dynamic IP address.

dynamic ip address: a temporary IP

address assigned by a DHCP server

static ip address: a fixed address

assigned to a computer or device that

is connected to a network

nat (network address translation): NAT

technology translates IP addresses of a

local area network to a different IP

address for the Internet.

dhcp (dynamic host configuration

protocol): a protocol that lets one

device on a local network, known as a

DHCP server, assign temporary IP

addresses to the other network

devices, typically computers
