Congratulations on becoming the owner of the Wireless Gateway. You will now be able to access
the Internet using your high-speed xDSL/Cable modem connection.
This User Guide will show you how to connect your Wireless Gateway, and how to customize its
configuration to get the most out of your new product.
Features
The list below contains the main features of the device and may be useful to users with knowledge
of networking protocols. If you are not an experienced user, the chapters throughout this guide will
provide you with enough information to get the most out of your device.
Features include:
•10/100Base-T Ethernet router to provide Internet connectivity to all computers on your LAN
•Network address translation (NAT) functions to provide security for your LAN
•Network configuration through DHCP Server and DHCP Client
•Services including IP route and DNS configuration, RIP, and IP
•Supports remote software upgrades
•User-friendly configuration program accessed via a web browser
The Wireless Gateway has the internal Ethernet switch allows for a direct connection to a
10/100BASE-T Ethernet network via an RJ-45 interface, with LAN connectivity for both the Wireless
Gateway and a co-located PC or other Ethernet-based device.
Device Requirements
In order to use the Wireless Gateway, you must have the following:
•One RJ-45 Broadband Internet connection via cable modem or xDSL modem
•Instructions from your ISP on what type of Internet access you will be using, and the addresses
needed to set up access
•One or more computers each containing an Ethernet card (10Base-T/100Base-T network
interface card (NIC))
