ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for
the Internet router located at the ISP's office.

ISP: Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for
individuals and other businesses or organizations.

LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a
relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered a LAN.

MAC Address: MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address
of a device connected to a network. The MAC address is a unique identifier for a device with an
Ethernet interface. It is comprised of two parts: 3 bytes of data that corresponds to the
Manufacturer ID (unique for each manufacturer), plus 3 bytes that are often used as the product’s
serial number.

NAT: Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on your home
network to use one IP address. Using the Hi-Gain Wireless-108G MIMO Router’s NAT capability,
you can access the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to purchase
more IP addresses from your ISP.

Port: Network Clients (LAN PC) uses port numbers to distinguish one network
application/protocol over another. Below is a list of common applications and protocol/port
numbers:

PPPoE:
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Point-t o-Point Protocol is a secure data
transmission method originally created for dial-up connections; PPPoE is for Ethernet
connections. PPPoE relies on two widely accepted standards, Ethernet and the Point-to-Point
Protocol. It is a communications protocol for transmitting information over Ethernet between
different manufacturers

Protocol:
A protocol is a set of rules for interaction agreed upon between multiple parties so that
when they interface with each other based on such a protocol, the interpretation of their behavior
is well defined and can be made objectively, without confusion or misunderstanding.

Router: A router is an intelligent network device that forwards packets between different
networks based on network layer address information such as IP addresses.
