Wireless-G Cable Gateway Chapter 1: Introduction Welcome The Linksys Wireless-G Cable Gateway is the all-in-one solution for Internet connectivity in your home. The Cable Modem function gives you a blazing fast connection to the Internet, far faster than a dial-up, and without tying up your phone line. How does the Wireless-G Cable Gateway do all of this? A gateway is a device that allows access to a cable Internet connection over a network.
Wireless-G Cable Gateway 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 Gateway. What’s in this Guide? • Chapter 1: Introduction This chapter describes the Wireless-G Cable Gateway applications and this User Guide. • Chapter 2: Planning Your Network This chapter describes the basics of networking.

Wireless-G Cable Gateway Chapter 2: Planning Your Network 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.
Wireless-G Cable Gateway Since you use the Gateway to share your cable 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.
Wireless-G Cable Gateway Chapter 3: Getting to Know the Wireless-G Cable Gateway The Back Panel The Gateway’s buttons and ports, where network cables are connected, are located on the back panel. Figure 3-1: Back Panel On/Off Switch This switch is used for turning the Gateway on and off. Power The Power port is where you will connect the power adapter. Reset Press this button and hold it in for five seconds to restore the Gateway to its factory default settings.
Wireless-G Cable Gateway The Front Panel The Gateway's LEDs, which displays information about network activity, are located on the front panel. Figure 3-2: Front Panel Power Green or red. The green Power LED is solidly lit when the Gateway is powered on. If the LED lights up red, there is an error. Internet, DS Green. The DS (Downstream) LED lights up and flashes when the Gateway is trying to lock on a downstream signal. The LED stays solidly lit when it has locked on the signal. Internet, US Green.
Wireless-G Cable Gateway Chapter 4: Connecting the Wireless-G Cable Gateway Overview To set up the Gateway, you will have to connect the Gateway to your Cable line, computers, and other network devices, as well as configure the Gateway with setting(s) provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The installation technician from your ISP should have left the setup information for the Gateway with you after installing your broadband connection. If not, you can call your ISP to request that data.
Wireless-G Cable Gateway 3. Connect one end of an Ethernet network cable to one of the Ethernet ports (labeled 1-4) on the back of the Gateway, and the other end to an Ethernet port on a computer. Repeat this step to connect more computers, a switch, or other network devices to the Gateway. NOTE: If your PC’s Ethernet adapter is not set up, please refer to your Ethernet adapter’s documentation for more information. 4.

Contact your ISP or go on its website to find the information. 8. Click the OK button in the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window, and click the OK button in the Local Area Connection Properties window. 9. Restart the computer if asked.
Wireless-G Cable Gateway • Make sure that your PC is using an IP address within the default range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 and thus compatible with the Gateway default IP Address of 192.168.0.1 • Also, the Subnet Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the Gateway. For the Gateway, you can check these settings by using Control Panel-Network to check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol. 4. The Power LED stays red when it shouldn’t.
Wireless-G Cable Gateway Frequently Asked Questions What is the maximum number of IP addresses that the Gateway will support? The Gateway will support up to 253 IP addresses. Is IPSec Passthrough supported by the Gateway? Yes, it is a built-in feature that is enabled by default. Does the Gateway support IPX or AppleTalk? No. TCP/IP is the only protocol standard for the Internet and has become the global standard for communications.
Wireless-G Cable Gateway Can multiple gamers on the LAN get on one game server and play simultaneously with just one public IP address? It depends on which network game or what kind of game server you are using. For example, Unreal Tournament supports multi-login with one public IP. How do I get Half-Life: Team Fortress to work with the Gateway? The default client port for Half-Life is 27005.
Wireless-G Cable Gateway want to use DMZ Hosting. To get the LAN IP address, see “Appendix C: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter.” If DMZ Hosting is used, does the exposed user share the public IP with the Gateway? No. Does the Gateway pass PPTP packets or actively route PPTP sessions? The Gateway allows PPTP packets to pass through. Is the Gateway cross-platform compatible? Any platform that supports Ethernet and TCP/IP is compatible with the Gateway.
Wireless-G Cable Gateway What is a MAC Address? The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique number assigned by the manufacturer to any Ethernet networking device, such as a network adapter, that allows the network to identify it at the hardware level. For all practical purposes, this number is usually permanent. Unlike IP addresses, which can change every time a computer logs onto the network, the MAC address of a device stays the same, making it a valuable identifier for the network.
Wireless-G Cable Gateway Appendix B: Wireless Security Linksys wants to make wireless networking as safe and easy for you as possible. The current generation of Linksys products provide several network security features, but they require specific action on your part for implementation. So, keep the following in mind whenever you are setting up or using your wireless network.
Wireless-G Cable Gateway SSID. There are several things to keep in mind about the SSID: 1. Disable Broadcast 2. Make it unique 3. Change it often Most wireless networking devices will give you the option of broadcasting the SSID. While this option may be more convenient, it allows anyone to log into your wireless network. This includes hackers. So, don’t broadcast the SSID. Wireless networking products come with a default SSID set by the factory. (The Linksys default SSID is “linksys”.
Wireless-G Cable Gateway with dynamic encryption keys, while WPA2-Enterprise only uses AES encryption. RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) utilizes a RADIUS server for authentication.
