Linksys reconfi gured the AT&T router for
pass-through traffi c, then installed a Linksys
LRT214 Business Gigabit VPN Router as
the outward-facing interface with the public
Internet. This created a permanent public IP
address and makes it possible for the staff IT
manager to access the offi ce network
remotely when necessary.
A single Linksys 28-Port Business Managed
Gigabit PoE+ Switch now provides secure
cable connections to the server, workstations,
and printers, protecting patient confi dentiality
according to industry standards and
government regulations.
The Challenge
The existing office network consisted of a DSL line to an AT&T wireless router, connected to a
Cisco router, then to a Netgear unmanaged switch with Ethernet cable connections to a server and
four workstations, including one at the front desk and three terminals in the examination rooms.
Two office printers were connected to the wireless network outside the Cisco router, creating a
potential security vulnerability. The doctor’s personal laptop and employee mobile devices also
used the wireless router for Internet access, but could not access the office network. Wireless
coverage, based on the older Wireless-G standard, was inconsistent throughout the office.
The Solution
A new Linksys network improves access and
security at Laguna Hills Family Dentistry.

Finally, a Linksys Business Wireless-AC
Dual-Band Access Point provides reliable
Wireless-AC coverage throughout the offi ce,
allowing laptops and mobile devices to access
the Internet and the offi ce network as needed
without compromising performance or security.
The network implementation was so successful
that Laguna Hills Family Dentistry subsequently
installed a Linksys Network Video Recorder
for Business and three IP dome cameras to
improve physical security in their offi ce.
