Chapter 1: Introduction
r
The Wireless-G Game Adapter gives any wired Ethernet-equipped game con-
sole wireless connection capabilities.
The Game Adapter can be used in two
different ways.
If you have an existing home wireless network and a cable or
DSL Internet connection, the Game Adapter lets your PlayStation
®
2, Xbox™
or GameCube™ attach to the network so you can get into online games with-
out running wires to the game room.
Or, use a pair of Game Adapters to form
a "cable-less cable" between two game consoles for head-to-head gaming -- in
the same room, or all the way across the house.
It's completely driver-free, so it works on any platform.
Since there's no driv-
ers to load, setup is a snap.
In some cases, it works right out of the box!
If your
setup's a little different -- just configure the network settings through your PC's
web browser, plug it into your game box, and go.
The Wireless-G Game Adapter provides lag-free gaming with communication
speeds up to 54Mbps when connected to other Wireless-G devices.
It can also
connect to Wireless-B (802.11b) devices and networks at 11Mbps.
Spend your time gaming, not stringing wires, with the Linksys Wireless-G
Game Adapter.
Compatible with all 802.11b and draft 802.11g compliant devices
Operates in the 2.4GHz frequency range for maximum distance
Dynamically shifts channels and wireless networks based on signal strength
and link quality for maximum availability and reliability of connection
Utilizes up to 128 Bit Wired Equivalency Protection (WEP) to ensure secu-
rity
Works with all network-ready game consoles, including Xbox, Playstation
2* and GameCube*
*May require additional Network Adapter Accessory
