The WGR101 wireless travel router incorporates Auto Uplink
TM
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
TM
will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection.
