Reference Manual for the 54 Mbps Wireless Router WGR614 v6

Network, Routing, Firewall, and Basics B-15

202-10099-01, April 2005

The WGR614 v6 router incorporates Auto Uplink

technology (also called MDI/MDIX). Each

LOCAL Ethernet port will automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port

should have a normal connection (e.g. connecting to a computer) or an uplink connection (e.g.

connecting to a router, 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.
