Overview
This chapter will describe how to set up the Media Link using the Wireless-B Media Link for Music Setup Wizard.
Linksys recommends using the Setup Wizard, which will guide you through the configuration procedure.
However, if you want to set up the Media Link using the front panel LCD screen (without a wired connection to a

Before setting up the Media Link, decide whether the Media Link will be connected to your wireless or wired
network AFTER you have configured it. For more information, refer to “Appendix C: Planning Your Use of the
Wireless-B Media Link for Music.”
