Reference Manual for the 54 Mbps Wireless Travel Router WGR101
Introduction

The router incorporates Auto Uplink
TM
 technology. Each Ethernet port will automatically sense 
whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a ‘normal’ connection such as to a 
computer or an ‘uplink’ connection such as to a switch or hub. That port will then configure itself 
to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to worry about crossover cables, 
as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection.
Extensive Protocol Support
The WGR101 wireless travel router supports the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol 
 
(TCP/IP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP). For further information about TCP/IP, refer to 
IP Address Sharing by NAT
 
The WGR101 wireless travel router allows several networked computers to share an Internet 
account using only a single IP address, which may be statically or dynamically assigned by 
your Internet service provider (ISP). This technique, known as NAT, allows the use of an 
inexpensive single-user ISP account.
Automatic Configuration of Attached computers by DHCP
 
The WGR101 wireless travel router dynamically assigns network configuration information, 
including IP, gateway, and domain name server (DNS) addresses, to attached computers on the 
LAN using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This feature greatly simplifies 
configuration of computers on your local network.
DNS Proxy
 
When DHCP is enabled and no DNS addresses are specified, the router provides its own 
address as a DNS server to the attached computers. The router obtains actual DNS addresses 
from the ISP during connection setup and forwards DNS requests from the LAN.
Easy Installation and Management
You can install, configure, and operate the 54 Mbps Wireless Travel Router WGR101  within 
minutes after connecting it to the network. The following features simplify installation and 
management tasks:
Browser-based management
 
Browser-based configuration allows you to easily configure your router from almost any type 
of personal computer, such as Windows, Macintosh, or Linux. Online help documentation is 
built into the browser-based Web Management Interface.
