If you intend to use the router to connect your network to the Internet, you need a
broadband Internet connection (DSL or cable) You also need the following information
and equipment:
A host computer (initially connected to the DSL or cable modem) that has a network
interface card
An R145 Ethernet cable (Cat-5 or better)
A DSL or cable modem (purchased or provided by your ISP)
Host computer's IP address (assigned by your ISP, if a static IP address is required)
Subnet mask (assigned by your lSI’, if a stadc IP address is required)
Default gateway (assigned by your ISPl if a static IP address is required)
Primary DNS IP address (assigned by your ISP, if a static address is used)
Host computer‘s name and workgroup (available through the Windows Control Panel
under System information)
Before you begin
Before you begin the initial network setup, you will need an active broadband Internet
connection. Connect the DSL or cable modem to your DSL or cable outlet and then connect
the host computer to the modem. Follow any instructions provided by your Internet'
service provider (ISP) to activate your broadband service.

Wireless operation
After the initial configuration is done, you can operate your network in wired or wireless
mode. To operate in wireless mode, each computer in your network must have a wireless
network interface card and the same SSID.
Tips & Tricks For additional information on setting up your wireless
network interface card. see the documentation that came
with your wireless network card.
Configuring WEP security in Windows XP
Windows XP does not automatically configure the wireless adapter to use the encryption
key generated when a WEP passphrase is entered. After the WEP encryption key is
generated on a Windows XP computer, you must manually enter the key so the computer
can communicate with the router.
0 To manually enter the WEP encryption key in Windows XP:
1 Click Start, then click Control Panel. If your Control Panel is in Category View, click
Network and Internet Connections.
2 Click/Double-click Network Connections. The Network Connections dialog box opens.
3 Double-click the Wireless Network Connection icon for your wireless network interface
card. If more than one is shown, click the one that connects to your wireless network.
4 When the Wireless Network Connection Status window opens, click Properties. The
Wireless Network Connection Properties window opens.
5 Click the Wireless Networks tab.
6 If the correct wireless network (check the SSlD) is shown in the Preferred Networks
area, double-click the connection and continue to Step 7.

Important The WEP encryption key must be entered exactly as
generated. All 10 (64-bit encryption) or 26 (128-bit
m1 encryptlon) hexidecimal digits must be entered.
9 Make sure that the Key formetbox indicates hexidecimal digits and that the Key length
box indicates the correct length key (10 or 26 digits).
10 Click OK to accept the settings,
11 Click OK repeatedly until you return to the Windows XP desktop.

Making connections
Preparation
If you intend to use the router to connect your network to the Internet, you need a
broadband Internet connection (DSL or cable) You also need the following information
and equipment:
A host computer (initially connected to router to enter configuration information) that
has a network interface card
An RJ-45 Ethernet cable (Cat-5 or better)
A DSL or cable modem (purchased or provided by your ISP)
Host computer’s IP address (assigned by your ISP, it a static IP address is required)
Subnet mask (assigned by your ISP, if a static IP address is required)
Default gateway (assigned by your ISP, if a static IP address is required)
Primary DNS IP address (assigned by your ISP, if a static address is used)
Host computer’s name and workgroup (available through the Windows Control Panel
under System information)
Connecting the hardware
. To connect the hardware:
14
1 Turn off and unplug the host computer, the DSL or cable modem, and the routerl
2 Using an RJ-45 Ethernet cable (Cat-5 or better), connect the Ethernet port of the host
computer to the LAN 1 connection on the back of the router You can also connect
as many as three additional computers to the router if you plan to use the router in
wired mode. To connect more than four computers to your network in wired mode,
connect them to a hub or switch, then connect the hub or switch to one of the LAN
ports on the router. This is not required in wireless mode.
3 Using an RJ-45 Ethernet cable (Cat-5 or better), connect the Ethernet port of your
DSL or cable modem to the WAN connection on the back of router.

5 Turn on the host computer. The LAN LED corresponding to the 111-45 jack used for
the LAN connection on the router lights to when the computer is connected correctly
to the router.
Configuring the computers
Now that you have the hardware connected, you need to configure the computers you
want to include in your network to let them obtain an IP address automatically. An IP
address lets the computers communicate with and operate on your new network. Use the
configurafion procedure specific to your computer‘s operating system.

you connect to the IS?
I For an automatic IP address, the Host Name (if required) and the Domain Name (it
required)
I For a static IP address, the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS address
(at least one)

Chapter 5: Advanced Configuration and Settings
Setting up security
Network security is important for home networks to protect personal information, such
as credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, tax records, and other private information.
Network security is vital for business, corporate, or government networks, where the safety
of the organization, and possibly the safety of the employees, may be at stake.
Establishing a router security scheme
Router security is your first line of defense whenever you are connected to the Internet.
Take the time to set up a good router security scheme to prevent unauthorized access to
your network.
0 To change router security settings:
1 Open your Internet browser and go to the Gateway Wireless Router Setup utility. For
more information, see "Contacting the router” on page 17.

DMZ hosting opens one computer on your network to the internet for a specific
purpose, such as Internet gaming or Video conferencing. If you choose to enable this
feature, you must disable the DHCP function on the subject computer, assign an IP
address to the computer, and type the IP address of the computer in the box provided.
Port Forwarding (see ”Setting up port forwarding" on page 45) should be considered
as an alternative to DMZ hosting as it provides better security because it only opens
selected ports, instead of all ports on the subject computer.
