Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio fre-
quency energy and, if not installed and used according to the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that inter-
ference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which is found by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
•
Increase the separation between the equipment or devices
•
Connect the equipment to an outlet other than the receiver's
•
Consult a dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for assistance
FCC Caution: Any change or modification to the product not expressly approved by
Linksys could void the user's authority to operate the device.
FCC Caution: Operation within the 5150 to 5250GHz band is restricted to indoor use only.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
To comply with the FCC and ANSI C95.1 RF exposure limits, the antenna(s) for this

Wireless-G Access Point
Chapter 1: Introduction
The Instant Wireless Wireless-G Access Point
Wireless-G is the upcoming 54Mbps wireless networking standard that's
almost five times faster than the widely deployed Wireless-B (802.11b) prod-
ucts found in homes, businesses, and public wireless hotspots around the coun-
try — but since they share the same 2.4GHz radio band, Wireless-G devices
can also work with existing 11Mbps Wireless-B equipment.
The Linksys Wireless-G Access Point lets you connect Wireless-G or Wireless-
B devices to the network. Since both standards are built in, you can protect your
investment in existing 802.11b infrastructure, and migrate your network clients
to the new screaming fast Wireless-G standard as your needs grow.
To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G Access Point can encrypt all
wireless transmissions.
The MAC Address filter lets you decide exactly who
has access to your wireless network.
Configuration is a snap with the web
browser-based configuration utility.
Future-proof your wireless network with the Linksys Wireless-G Access Point.
You'll enjoy Wireless-B connectivity today, and be prepared for a high-speed
Wireless-G tomorrow.

the Access Point’s back panel.
Reset Button
There are two ways to Reset the Access Point’s factory
defaults. Either press the Reset Button using a small,
pointed object like a ball-point pen, for approximately ten
seconds, or restore the defaults from the password tab in
the Access Point’s Web-Based Utility.

LAN
(Local Area Network) port connects to
Ethernet network devices, such as a hub, switch, or
router.

Important:
Resetting the Access Point will erase all of your settings
(WEP Encryption, Wireless and LAN settings, etc.) and replace
them with the factory defaults. Do not reset the Access Point if you
want to retain these settings
Chapter 2: Planning Your
Wireless Network
A wireless LAN is a group of computers, each equipped with one Instant
Wireless Series adapter.
Computers in a wireless LAN must be configured to
share the same radio channel.
The Instant Wireless Series adapters provide access to a wired LAN for wire-
less workstations.
An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an infra-
structure configuration.
A group of Instant Wireless Series adapter users and
an Instant Wireless Wireless-G Access Point compose a Basic Service Set
(BSS).
Each Instant Wireless Series adapter PC in a BSS can talk to any com-
puter in a wired LAN infrastructure via the Wireless-G Access Point.
An infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of an Instant Wireless
Series adapter PC to a wired LAN, and doubles the effective wireless trans-
mission range for two Instant Wireless Series adapter PCs.
Since the Wireless-
G Access Point is able to forward data within its BSS, the effective transmis-
sion range in an infrastructure LAN is doubled.
Infrastructure mode also supports roaming capabilities for mobile users.
More
than one BSS can be configured as an Extended Service Set (ESS).
This con-
tinuous network allows users to roam freely within an ESS.
All PCs equipped
with an Instant Wireless Series adapter within one ESS must be configured
with the same ESS ID and use the same radio channel.
Before enabling an ESS with roaming capability, choosing a feasible radio
channel and optimum Wireless-G Access Point position is recommended.
Proper Access Point positioning combined with a clear radio signal will great-
ly enhance performance.
