Wireless-G is the upcoming 54Mbps wireless networking standard that's
almost five times faster than the widely deployed Wireless-B (802.11b) products found in homes, businesses, and public wireless hotspots around the country — 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 WirelessB 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.

Wireless Network
Chapter 3: Getting to Know the
Wireless-G Access Point
Network Topology
The Wireless-G Access Point’s Back Panel
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 Access Point’s ports, where a network cable is connected, are located on
the Access Point’s back panel.
The Instant Wireless Series adapters provide access to a wired LAN for wireless workstations. An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an infrastructure 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 computer 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 transmission range for two Instant Wireless Series adapter PCs. Since the WirelessG Access Point is able to forward data within its BSS, the effective transmission range in an infrastructure LAN is doubled.
Figure 3-1
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
This LAN (Local Area Network) port connects to
Ethernet network devices, such as a hub, switch, or
router.
Power
The Power port is where you will connect the power
adapter.
Roaming
Infrastructure mode also supports roaming capabilities for mobile users. More
than one BSS can be configured as an Extended Service Set (ESS). This continuous 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 greatly enhance performance.
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 4: Connecting the
Wireless-G Access Point
1. 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.
Figure 3-2
Power
Green. The Power LED lights up when the Access Point is
powered on.
Diag
Red. The Diag LED indicates the Access Point’s self-diagnosis
mode during boot-up and restart. It will turn off upon completing the diagnosis. If this LED stays on for an abnormally
long period of time, refer to the Troubleshooting Appendix.
2. Fix the direction of the antenna. Try to place it in a position which 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.
3. Connect a standard Ethernet network cable to the Access Point. Then,
connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a switch or hub. The Access
Point will then be connected to your 10/100 Network.
4. Connect the AC Power Adapter to the Access Point’s Power port and
plug the other end into an electrical outlet. Only use the power adapter
supplied with the Access Point. Use of a different adapter may result in
product damage.
WLAN Act
Green. If the WLAN’s Act LED is flickering, the Access Point
is actively sending or receiving data to or from one of the
devices on the network.
WLAN Link
Green. The WLAN’s Link LED lights whenever there is a successful wireless connection.
Now that the hardware installation is complete, proceed to Chapter 5: Setting
Up the Wireless-G Access Point for directions on how to set up the Access
Point.
LAN Act/Link Green. The LAN’s LINK LED serves two purposes. If the
LED is continuously lit, the Access Point is successfully connected to a device through the LAN port. If the LED is flickering, it is an indication of any network activity.
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.
LAN Full/Col Green. The LAN’s Full/Col LED also serves two purposes.
When this LED is continuously lit, the connection made
through the corresponding port is running in Full Duplex
mode. A flickering LED indicates that the connection is experiencing collisions. Infrequent collisions are normal. If this
LED blinks too often, there may be a problem with your connection. Refer to the Troubleshooting Appendix if you think
there is a problem.
LAN 100
Orange. The LAN’s 100 LED indicates when a successful
100Mbps connection is made through the LAN port.
Instant Wireless® Series
Wireless-G Access Point
Chapter 5: Setting Up the
Wireless-G Access Point
Have You: Connected the Access Point to a hub, switch or router
on your wired network as shown in Chapter 4: Connecting the
Wireless-G Access Point? The Access Point can only be set up
through your wired network.
Now that you’ve connected the Access Point to your wired network, you are
ready to begin setting it up. This Setup Wizard will take you through all the
steps necessary to configure the Access Point.
Note: While the Access Point has been designed to work correctly
right out of the box, setting it up on a wireless computer will require
you to use the Linksys default settings. These settings can then be
changed with the Setup Wizard or Web-based Browser Utility.
Figure 5-1
3. The following screen, shown in Figure 5-2, displays how the Access Point
is configured in this Setup Wizard. Optimally, you should perform this
setup through a PC on your wired network. Click the Next button to continue or Exit to exit the Setup Wizard.
1. Insert the Setup Wizard CD into your PC’s CD-ROM drive. Your PC must
be on your wired network to set up the Access Point.
2. The Setup Wizard should run automatically, and the screen in Figure 5-1
should appear on your monitor. If it does not, start the Setup Wizard manually by clicking the Start button, selecting Run, and typing d:\setup.exe
(where “D” is your PC’s CD-ROM drive). Click the Setup button to continue this Setup Wizard. Clicking the User Guide button opened this User
Guide. To exit this Setup Wizard, click the Exit button.
