The Linksys router is controlled via a Web-based interface that can be easily upgraded via a download from the Web. This process ensures a secure network because all traffic is directed to a single Internet IP address-and is then redirected by the Linksys router to other ports-which keeps your internal network hidden from hackers. Then, the Web server responds and sends the request to the router, which then forwards the information requested back to the client. For example, if you have a Web server running at the internal IP of 192.168.1.100, you can forward all HTML traffic that hits your Linksys router to the internal Web server. This process, known as “server proxying,” is very useful. You can also use this device to direct traffic to static IP addresses within your network. This feature is helpful if you are operating within a large environment with more than one Linksys router operating at the same time and you want to separate your networks. By default, the EtherFast Router gives connected machines a .x address, but that can be easily modified to use other addresses, such as the 10.x.x.x address. To make your life in networking a little bit easier, the device has a built-in DHCP server/client so that all devices connecting to the router can automatically be assigned an internal IP address.
TechProGuild's editor in chief, Erik Eckel, heralded the benefits of the Linksys 4-port router in a recent edition of the IT Certification Corner. Designed to support up to 253 users, this device is a perfect fit within a small office/home office environment, and could possibly even meet some of the needs of a midsize business environment.
