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.
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 man-
ually 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 con-
tinue this Setup Wizard. Clicking the User Guide button opened this User
Guide. To exit this Setup Wizard, click the Exit button.
