Frequently Asked Questions
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.
How many ports can be simultaneously forwarded?
Theoretically, the Gateway can establish 520 sessions at the same time, but you can only forward 10 ranges of
ports.
Does the Gateway replace a modem? Is there a cable modem in the Gateway?
Yes. The Gateway has an integrated cable modem, so this product will replace your current cable modem.
What are the advanced features of the Gateway?
The Gateway’s advanced features include Filters, Forwarding, and DMZ host.
How do I get mIRC to work with the Gateway?
Set port forwarding to 113 for the computer on which you are using mIRC. If you are experiencing difficulty after
setting the port forwarding, try changing the Direct Client-to-Client (DCC) settings to a range from 1024 to 1030
on the DCC option and Forwarding page of the Web-based Setup Utility.
What is the IEEE 802.11g standard?
It is one of the IEEE standards for wireless networks. The 802.11g standard allows wireless networking hardware
from different manufacturers to communicate, provided that the hardware complies with the 802.11g standard.
The 802.11g standard states a maximum data transfer rate of 54Mbps and an operating frequency of 2.4GHz.
What is ad-hoc mode?
When a wireless network is set to ad-hoc mode, the wireless-equipped computers are configured to
communicate directly with each other, peer-to-peer without the use of an access point. Ad-hoc mode is not used
with the Gateway.
What is infrastructure mode?
When a wireless network is set to infrastructure mode, the wireless network is configured to communicate with a
network through a wireless access point. Infrastructure mode is used with the Gateway.
