Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge

Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge. The versatile Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge can make any
wired Ethernet-equipped device a part of your wireless network. At home, use the Bridge to connect game
consoles, set-top boxes, or computers to your Wireless-G network and its shared high-speed Internet connection.
In the office, convert your Ethernet-wired printer, camera, notebook or desktop into a wireless networked device.
It's completely driver-free, so it works on any platform and under any operating system! Since there's no drivers
to load, setup is a snap—configure the network settings through your PC's web browser, then plug it into your
device and go. And physical installation is simplified by support for Power Over Ethernet. With an optional POE
Adapter, you can mount the Bridge wherever you want—power and data are both supplied through the Category
5 Ethernet cable.
You can also use the Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge as a kind of "cable-less cable" to connect remote areas
together. Maybe Shipping is all the way across the warehouse from Receiving. Or maybe you want to set up a
home office in your detached garage. With a Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge in the garage, and another one (or a
Wireless-G Access Point) in the house, you're connected—no digging trenches, and no overhead wires. Let the
Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge from Linksys open up exciting new possibilities for your wireless network.
Use the instructions in this Guide to help you set up and connect the Bridge. These instructions should be all you
need to get the most out of the Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge.
