Installing the Linksys WRT110
from: ConsumerEvidence.comFound at the rear of the router are the standard four-port Fast Ethernet switch and an RJ-45 WAN port. These attachments make it possible for you to connect to the other devices found in your home. You also get a button on the front panel that can be used for initiating WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) sessions with suitably equipped wireless clients.
When you purchase the router, installation can be handled smoothly by a CD-ROM based utility which helps out with cabling conundrums. You are then taken through a quick start wizard to get the router up and running. Linksys will also advice you to change the default administrative password and set up wireless encryption with a suitably complex passphrase. The newest feature is the Linksys' LELA (Linksys EasyLink Advisor) v3.0. This provides a smart interface for viewing and managing all network devices attached to the router. You can open the full network map of the router, with each connected system attached and whether Internet access is currently available.
A window pops up when you select a device. You will be shown the details on its connection speed, its IP address and the installed operating system. Selecting the router allows you to change its administrative password and encryption key. If there is an unidentified system attempting connection, you can flag it as an intruder. The hacker’s name will be marked in red. This is when the password plays a pivotal role because you play the gatekeeper to those you’ll only allow access to your connection.
