Product Overview
Chapter 1: Product Overview
Thank you for choosing the Linksys RangePlus Wireless Router. The Router lets you access the Internet via a wireless connection or through one of its four switched ports. You can also use the Router to share resources such as computers, printers and files. A variety of security features help to protect your data and your privacy while online. Security features include WPA2 security, a Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall and NAT technology. Configuring the Router is easy using the provided browser­based utility.
Front Panel
1, 2, 3, 4 (Blue) These numbered LEDs,
corresponding with the numbered ports on the Router’s back panel, serve two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit, the Router is successfully connected to a device through that port. A flashing LED indicates network activity over that port.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup Button If you have
client devices, such as wireless adapters, that support Wi-Fi Protected Setup, then you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup to automatically configure wireless security for your wireless network(s).
To use Wi-Fi Protected Setup, run the Setup Wizard, or refer to the “Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings” section of “Chapter 3: Advanced Configuration”.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup LED (Blue/Amber) It
lights up blue when wireless security is enabled. The LED flashes blue for two minutes during Wi-Fi Protected Setup.
The LED lights up amber if there is an error during the Wi-Fi Protected Setup process. Make sure the client device supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup. Wait until the LED is off, and then try again.
The LED flashes amber when a Wi-Fi Protected Setup session is active, and a second session begins. The Router supports one session at a time. Wait until the LED is off before starting the next Wi-Fi Protected Setup session.
Wireless (Blue) The Wireless LED lights up
when the wireless feature is enabled. If the LED is flashing, the Router is actively sending or receiving data over the network.
Internet (Blue) The Internet LED lights up
when there is a connection made through the Internet port. A flashing LED indicates network activity over the Internet port.
Power (Blue) The Power LED lights up and will
stay on while the Router is powered on. When the Router goes through its self-diagnostic mode during every boot-up, this LED will flash. When the diagnostic is complete, the LED will be solidly lit.
Back Panel
Internet The Internet port is where you will
connect your cable or DSL Internet connection.
1, 2, 3, 4 These Ethernet ports (1, 2, 3, 4) connect
the Router to PCs on your wired network and other Ethernet network devices.
Reset There are two ways to reset the Router’s
factory defaults. Either press and hold the Reset Button for approximately five seconds, or restore the defaults from Administration > Factory Defaults in the Router’s web-based utility.
Power The Power port is where you will
connect the power adapter.
Horizontal Placement
The Router has four rubber feet on its bottom panel. Place the Router on a level surface near an electrical outlet.

true to scale.
NOTE: Linksys is not responsible for damages
incurred by insecure wall-mounting hardware.
2.5-3.0 mm
Follow these instructions:
Determine where you want to mount the Router. Make
1. sure that the wall you use is smooth, flat, dry, and sturdy. Also make sure the location is within reach of an electrical outlet.
Drill two holes into the wall. Make sure the holes are
2. 152 mm (6 inches) apart.
Insert a screw into each hole and leave 3 mm
3. (0.12 inches) of its head exposed.
Maneuver the Router so the wall-mount slots line up
4. with the two screws.
Place the wall-mount slots over the screws and slide
5. the Router down until the screws fit snugly into the wall-mount slots.

Wireless Security Checklist
Chapter 2: Wireless Security Checklist
Wireless networks are convenient and easy to install, so homes with high-speed Internet access are adopting them at a rapid pace. Because wireless networking operates by sending information over radio waves, it can be more vulnerable to intruders than a traditional wired network. Like signals from your cellular or cordless phones, signals from your wireless network can also be intercepted. Since you cannot physically prevent someone from connecting to your wireless network, you need to take some additional steps to keep your network secure.
1. Change the default wireless network name or SSID
Wireless devices have a default wireless network name or Service Set Identifier (SSID) set by the factory. This is the name of your wireless network, and can be up to 32 characters in length. Linksys wireless products use linksys as the default wireless network name. You should change the wireless network name to something unique to distinguish your wireless network from other wireless networks that may exist around you, but do not use personal information (such as your Social Security number) because this information may be available for anyone to see when browsing for wireless networks.
2. Change the default password
For wireless products such as access points and routers, you will be asked for a password when you want to change their settings. These devices have a default password set by the factory. The Linksys default password is admin. Hackers know these defaults and may try to use them to access your wireless device and change your network settings. To thwart any unauthorized changes, customize the device’s password so it will be hard to guess.
4. Enable encryption
Encryption protects data transmitted over a wireless network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) and Wired Equivalency Privacy (WEP) offer different levels of security for wireless communication.
A network encrypted with WPA/WPA2 is more secure than a network encrypted with WEP, because WPA/WPA2 uses dynamic key encryption. To protect the information as it passes over the airwaves, you should enable the highest level of encryption supported by your network equipment.
WEP is an older encryption standard and may be the only option available on some older devices that do not support WPA.
General Network Security Guidelines
Wireless network security is useless if the underlying network is not secure.
Password protect all computers on the network and
•
individually password protect sensitive files.
Change passwords on a regular basis.
•
Install anti-virus software and personal firewall
•
software.
Disable file sharing (peer-to-peer). Some applications
•
may open file sharing without your consent and/or knowledge.
Additional Security Tips
Keep wireless routers, access points, or gateways away
•
from exterior walls and windows.
Turn wireless routers, access points, or gateways
•
off when they are not being used (at night, during vacations).
Use strong passphrases that are at least eight characters
•
in length. Combine letters and numbers to avoid using standard words that can be found in the dictionary.
3. Enable MAC address filtering
Linksys routers give you the ability to enable Media Access Control (MAC) address filtering. The MAC address is a unique series of numbers and letters assigned to every networking device. With MAC address filtering enabled, wireless network access is provided solely for wireless devices with specific MAC addresses. For example, you can specify the MAC address of each computer in your home so that only those computers can access your wireless network.

Chapter 3: Advanced Configuration
After setting up the Router with the Setup Wizard (located on the CD-ROM), the Router will be ready for use. However, if you’d like to change its advanced settings, use the Router’s web-based utility. This chapter describes each web page of the utility and each page’s key functions. You can access the utility via a web browser on a computer connected to the Router.
The web-based utility has these main tabs: Setup, Wireless, Security, Access Restrictions, Applications & Gaming, Administration, and Status. Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs.
NOTE: When first installing the Router, you
should use the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM. If you want to configure advanced settings, use this chapter to learn about the web-based utility.

How to Access the Web-Based Utility
To access the web-based utility, launch the web browser on your computer, and enter the Router’s default IP address,
192.168.1.1, in the Address field. Then, press Enter.
A login screen will appear. (Non-Windows XP users will see a similar screen.) Leave the User name field blank. The first time you open the Web-based utility, use the default password admin. (You can set a new password from the Administration tab’s Management screen.) Click OK to continue.
