THE WIRELESS (Wi-Fi) ROUTER
The Magellan ships with a Linksys Wireless G Router that connects as many computers
to the dish it as you like, either directly by Ethernet cable or by Wireless connection (use
of a hub is needed for more than 3 directly connected computers).
SECURITY CONCERNS – Although the wireless functionality is a great benefit to most, you may easily
disable it with a simple button click from the router administrative screen. Once the wireless feature is
deactivated, it will behave like any non-wireless router. The Wireless Password Protection of the Linksys
is capable of 128 bit encrypted for added security.
THE HUGHESNET DW7000 SATELLITE MODEMS
The DW7000 satellite modem from HughesNet (formally known as Direcway) is the
component that allows your MAGELLAN dish to transmit and receive Internet traffic.
There are two Coax Cables that come from the dish and connect directly to the DW7000.
One coax cable is for Transmit (TX) and the other is for Receive (RX). The single
Ethernet Port on the DW7000 connects to the Linksys Router, which supplies the Internet
connection to all computers connected to the router (either by Ethernet cable or by
Wireless). The other cable goes to the AC/DC Power Supply.
