Reference Manual for the 54 Mbps Wireless Router with Phone Adapter WGR826V

The WGR826V Wireless Router incorporates Auto UplinkTM 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 UplinkTM will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection.
