Connecting the Wireless-G
Access Point
A. Locate an optimum location for the Access Point. The best place for the
Access Point is usually at the center of your wireless network, with line of
sight to all of your mobile stations.
B. Fix the direction of the antenna. Try to place it in a position that can best
cover your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna,
the better the performance will be. The antenna's position enhances the
receiving sensitivity. Both antennas should be perpendicular to the ground
and parallel to each other.
C. Connect the included Category 5 Ethernet network cable to the Access
Point. Then connect the other end of the network cable to a switch or hub.
The Access Point will then be connected to your 10/100 network.

D. Connect the AC power adapter to the Access Point's Power port. Only use
the power adapter supplied with the Access Point. Use of a different adapter
may result in product damage.

Proceed to Step 2.
Note: In order for all other wireless devices to communicate with the Access
Point, those devices must be operating in infrastructure mode. If any wireless
devices are configured in ad-hoc mode, they WILL NOT be recognized by the
Access Point.
Setting Up the Wireless-G
Access Point
Now that you've connected the Access Point to your wired network, you are
ready to begin setting it up. The Setup Wizard will take you through all the
steps necessary to get the Access Point connecting your wireless network to
your wired network and communicating more efficiently.
Note: While the Access Point has been designed to work correctly right out
of the box, setting it up on a wireless-equipped computer will require you to
use the Linksys default settings. These settings can then be changed through
the Web-based Utility. For more details, refer to the User Guide on the Setup
Wizard CD-ROM.
A. Insert the Setup Wizard CD into your PC's CD-ROM drive. Optimally,
your PC should be on your wired network.
B. The Welcome screen
should appear on your
monitor. If it does not,
this means the autorun
is not functioning.
Start the autorun man-
ually by clicking the
Start button, select-
ing Run, and typing
D:\setup.exe (if "D"
is your PC's CD-ROM
drive). Then click the
B
Setup button.
