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
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
to its factory defaults. Either press and hold the
Reset Button for approximately five seconds, or
restore the defaults from the Administration >
Factory Defaults screen of the Router’s webbased utility.
Power The Power port is where you will
connect the power adapter.
Power (Green) The Power LED lights up
and will stay on while the Router is powered
on. When the Router goes through its selfdiagnostic mode during every boot-up, this
LED will flash. When the diagnostic is complete,
the LED will be solidly lit.
1, 2, 3, 4 (Green) 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.
Internet (Green) 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.
Wireless (Green) 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 wireless network.
Security (Green) The Security LED lights up
when wireless security is enabled.

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.
