Wireless-G Media Storage Link Router with SpeedBooster

Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Linksys Wireless-G Media Storage Link Router with SpeedBooster. The Router will

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

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 Router, this access can be shared over the four switched ports or via the wireless broadcast at

up to 11Mbps for Wireless-B or up to 54Mbps for Wireless-G.

The Router also has a built-in media server, so it can stream music, video, and pictures from a USB hard disk to a

Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP)-compatible media adapter. You won’t need a computer to manage the content;

instead, let the Router can do that for you.

Use the WPA standard to secure your wireless network while the whole network is protected through a Stateful

Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall and Network Address Translation (NAT) technology. The Router’s

SecureEasySetup™ feature makes it a snap to set up WPA when you have other SecureEasySetup devices—

notebooks, printers, other peripherals—comprising your network. Run the Setup Wizard and it will guide you

through the steps. You can also access the Router’s features through the easy-to-use, browser-based utility.

But what does all of this mean?

Networks are useful tools for sharing 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 are not only useful in homes and offices, they can also 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. The Router bridges wireless networks of both 802.11b and 802.11g

standards and wired networks, allowing them to 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 Router protects your networks from unauthorized and

unwelcome users.

lan (local area network): The computers and

networking products that make up the network in

your home or office.

nat (network address translation): NAT technology

translates 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.

spi (stateful packet inspection) firewall: a technology

that inspects incoming packets of information before

allowing them to enter the network.

firewall: Security measures that protect the

resources of a local network from intruders.
