Wireless A/G Game Adapter
Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Wireless A/G Game Adapter. With this Adapter, your wireless gaming experience will
be faster and easier than ever.
How does the Game Adapter do this? Like all wireless products, the Game Adapter allows for greater range and
mobility within your wireless network, whether it’s using the Wireless-A (802.11a), Wireless-G (802.11g), or
Wireless-B (802.11b) standard. Using this Adapter, your game console has the flexibility to communicate using
any of the three wireless networking standards.
network: a series of computers or devices
connected for the purpose of data sharing,
storage, and/or transmission between users.
adapter: a device that adds network functionality
to your PC.
But what does all of this mean?
Networks are useful tools for sharing computer resources. You can access one printer from different computers
and access data located on another computer's hard drive. Networks are even used for playing multiplayer video
games. This is exactly what the Game Adapter is designed for—gaming over a wireless network. So, networks
are not only useful in homes and offices, they can also be fun.
PCs and game consoles equipped with wireless cards or adapters can communicate without cumbersome
cables. By sharing the same wireless settings, within their transmission radius, they form a wireless network.
In most cases, you can use the “Fast Setup” chapter to quickly install the Game Adapter. If you need to configure
the Game Adapter’s settings, run the included Setup Wizard, which will walk you through its configuration, step
by step. Use the instructions in this Guide to help you connect and set up the Game Adapter for your
PlayStation®2, GameCube™, or Xbox®.* These instructions should be all you need to get the most out of the
Game Adapter.
802.11a: an IEEE wireless networking standard that
specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 54Mbps
and an operating frequency of 5GHz.
802.11g: an IEEE wireless networking standard
that specifies a maximum data transfer rate of
54Mbps and an operating frequency of 2.4GHz.
802.11b: an IEEE wireless networking standard
that specifies a maximum data transfer rate of
11Mbps and an operating frequency of 2.4GHz.
*Your game console may require a network adapter that is sold separately.

Chapter 2: Planning Your Wireless Network
Network Topology
topology: the physical layout of a network.
A wireless network is a group of computers, each equipped with one wireless adapter. Computers in a wireless
network must be configured to share the same radio channel. Several PCs equipped with wireless cards or
adapters can communicate with one another to form an ad-hoc network.
Linksys wireless adapters also provide users access to a wired network when using an access point or wireless
router. An integrated wireless and wired network is called an infrastructure network. Each wireless PC in an
infrastructure network can talk to any computer in a wired network infrastructure via the access point or wireless
router.
network: a series of computers or devices
connected for the purpose of data sharing,
storage, and/or transmission between users
adapter: a device that adds
network functionality to your PC
An infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of a wireless PC to a wired network, and can double the
effective wireless transmission range for two wireless adapter PCs. Since an access point is able to forward data
within a network, the effective transmission range in an infrastructure network can be doubled.
ad-hoc: a group of wireless devices
communicating directly with each other (peerto-peer) without the use of an access point.
Roaming
access point: a device that allows wirelessequipped computers and other devices to
communicate with a wired network. Also used
to expand the range of a wireless network
Infrastructure mode also supports roaming capabilities for mobile users. Roaming means that you can move your
wireless PC within your network and the access points will pick up the wireless PC's signal, provided that they
both share the same channel and SSID.
Choose a feasible radio channel and optimum access point position. Proper access point positioning combined
with a clear radio signal will greatly enhance performance.
Network Layout
Wireless A/G products offer the most flexibility, because they can connect to 802.11a networks, or they can
connect to networks with 802.11g and/or 802.11b devices—depending on the settings you configure on the
dual-band products.
infrastructure: a wireless network that is
bridged to a wired network via an access point.
roaming: the ability to take a wireless device
from one access point's range to another without
losing the connection.
ssid: your wireless network's name.
The Wireless A/G Game Adapter is compatible with all 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g routers, as well as access
points. It will also communicate with other wireless notebook adapters for your laptop computers, wireless PCI
adapters for your desktop PCs, and wireless USB adapters when you want to enjoy USB connectivity. Wireless
products will also communicate with wireless print servers.
Chapter 2: Planning Your Wireless Network
Network Topology
Wireless A/G Game Adapter
When you wish to connect your wired network with your wireless network, network ports on access points and
wireless routers can be connected to any of Linksys's switches or routers.
With these, and many other, Linksys products, your networking options are limitless. Go to the Linksys website at
www.linksys.com for more information about products that work with the Wireless A/G Game Adapter.
