  • Page 97: Frequently Asked Questions

    Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge 4. The Bridge-enabled PC won’t communicate with a wireless-enabled PC or printer. Perform the following steps: • Check that the wireless-enabled PC or printer is on the same wireless network as the PC using the Bridge. • Make sure that the SSID and network mode are the same for all devices connected to the same wireless network.
  • Page 98 Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge Can I run an application from a remote computer over the wireless network? This will depend on whether or not the application is designed to be used over a network. Consult the application’s user guide to determine if it supports operation over a network. Can I play multiplayer games with other users of the wireless network? Yes, as long as the game supports multiple players over a LAN.
  • Page 99 Would the information be intercepted while transmitting on air? Linksys products feature two-fold protection in security. On the hardware side, as with Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum technology, it has the inherent security feature of scrambling. On the software side, Linksys products offer the encryption function (WEP) to enhance security and access control.

    Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge Appendix B: Wireless Security Linksys wants to make wireless networking as safe and easy for you as possible. The current generation of Linksys products provide several network security features, but they require specific action on your part for implementation.
  • Page 101 This includes hackers. So, don’t broadcast the SSID. Wireless networking products come with a default SSID set by the factory. (The Linksys default SSID is “linksys”.) Hackers know these defaults and can check these against your network. Change your SSID to something unique and not something related to your company or the networking products you use.
