Reference Manual for the 54 Mbps Wireless Router WGR614 v6
The WGR614 v6 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.
