NETGEAR Wireless Router Setup Manual

Network, Routing, and Firewall Basics B-15

December 2004

The wireless 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.
