Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome
Wireless-G ADSL Home Gateway
Chapter1:Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Wireless-G ADSL Home Gateway. This Gateway will provide your computers with a
high-speed Internet connection as well as resources, including files and printers. Since the Gateway is wireless,
Internet access can be shared over the wired network as well as the wireless broadcast at up to 11Mbps for
Wireless-B or up to 54Mbps for Wireless-G.
How does the Gateway do all of this? By connecting the Internet, as well as your computers and peripherals, to
the Gateway, then the Gateway can direct and control communications for your network.
To protect your data and privacy, the Gateway features an advanced firewall to keep out Internet intruders.
Wireless transmissions can be protected by powerful data encryption. In addition, you can safeguard your family
with parental control features such as Internet access restrictions and keyword blocking. You can configure the
Gateway’s settings 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. 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”. 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. This is sometimes called a WLAN, or Wireless Local Area Network. Since the Gateway has
wireless capabilities, it can bridge your wired and wireless networks, letting them communicate with each other.
With your networks all connected, wired, wireless, and the Internet, you can now share files and Internet
access—and even play games. All the while, the Wireless-G ADSL Home Gateway protects your networks from
unauthorized and unwelcome users.
Linksys recommends using the Setup CD-ROM for first-time installation of the Gateway. If you do not wish to run
the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM, then use the instructions in this Guide to help you connect the Gateway,
set it up, and configure it to bridge your different networks. These instructions should be all you need to get the
most out of the Wireless-G ADSL Home Gateway.

The Gateway’s Functions
Wireless-G ADSL Home Gateway
Chapter2:PlanningYourNetwork
The Gateway’s Functions
A Gateway is a network device that connects two networks together.
In this instance, the Gateway connects your Local Area Network (LAN), or the group of computers in your home or
office, to the Internet. The Gateway processes and regulates the data that travels between these two networks.
The Gateway’s NAT feature protects your network of computers so users on the public, Internet side cannot “see”
your computers. This is how your network remains private. The Gateway protects your network by inspecting
every packet coming in through the Internet port before delivery to the appropriate computer on your network.
The Gateway 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 computer on the LAN side.
Remember that the Gateway’s ports connect to two sides. The LAN ports connect to the LAN, and the ADSL port
connects to the Internet. The LAN ports transmit data at 10/100Mbps.
IP Addresses
What’s an IP Address?
IP stands for Internet Protocol. Every device on an IP-based network, including computers, print servers, and
Gateways, 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 an IP address to your network devices. You can
assign static IP addresses or use the Gateway to assign IP addresses dynamically.
Static IP Addresses
A static IP address is a fixed IP address that you assign manually to a computer 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 must be unique and are
commonly used with network devices such as server computers or print servers.
NOTE: Since the Gateway is a device that connects
two networks, it needs two IP addresses—one for
the LAN, and one for the Internet. In this User Guide,
you’ll see references to the “Internet IP address”
and the “LAN IP address.”
Since the Gateway uses NAT technology, the only IP
address that can be seen from the Internet for your
network is the Gateway’s Internet IP address.
However, even this Internet IP address can be
blocked, so that the Gateway and network seem
invisible to the Internet—see the Block WAN
Requests description under Security in “Chapter 5:
Configuring the Wireless-G ADSL Home Gateway.”
Figure 2-1: Network
ip (internet protocol): a protocol used to send data
over a network

Chapter 2: Planning Your Network
IP Addresses
Wireless-G ADSL Home Gateway
Since you use the Gateway to share your 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
Gateway. You can get that information from your ISP.
Dynamic IP Addresses
A dynamic IP address is automatically assigned to a device on the network, such as computers and print servers.
These IP addresses are called “dynamic” because they are only temporarily assigned to the computer or device.
After a certain time period, they expire and may change. If a computer logs onto the network (or the Internet) and
its dynamic IP address has expired, the DHCP server will automatically assign it a new dynamic IP address.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Servers
Computers and other network devices using dynamic IP addressing are assigned a new IP address by a DHCP
server. The computer or network device obtaining an IP address is called the DHCP client. DHCP frees you from
having to assign IP addresses manually every time a new user is added to your network.
A DHCP server can either be a designated computer on the network or another network device, such as the
Gateway. By default, the Gateway’s DHCP Server function is enabled.
If you already have a DHCP server running on your network, you must disable one of the two DHCP servers. If you
run more than one DHCP server on your network, you will experience network errors, such as conflicting IP
addresses. To disable DHCP on the Gateway, see the DHCP section in “Chapter 5: Configuring the Wireless-G
ADSL Home Gateway.”
