Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster

Chapter1:Introduction

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster. The Wireless-G Broadband

Router with SpeedBooster will allow you to network wirelessly better than ever, sharing Internet access, files and

fun, easily and securely.

How does the Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster do all of this? A router is a device that allows

access to an Internet connection over a network. With the Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster, this

access can be shared over the four switched ports and via the wireless network, broadcast at either 11Mbps for

Wireless-B or 54Mbps for Wireless-G. In addition, WEP encryption provides greater security opportunities while

the whole network is protected through a Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall and NAT technology. All of

these security features, as well as full configurability, are accessed 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 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. The Wireless-G

Broadband Router with SpeedBooster bridges wireless networks of both 802.11b and 802.11g standards and

wired networks, allowing them to communicate with each other. And since this Router has SpeedBooster

technology, your wireless network performance increases by up to 30% from old 802.11g standards. In fact, even

non-SpeedBooster-equipped devices on your network will see a speed improvement when communicating with

SpeedBooster-enhanced equipment!

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 Broadband Router with SpeedBooster protects your

networks from unauthorized and unwelcome users.

You should always use the Setup CD-ROM when you first install the Router. 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 Wireless-G

Broadband Router with SpeedBooster, 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 Broadband Router with SpeedBooster.
