Product Overview
Thank you for choosing the Linksys Metro Wireless
Internet Adapter. The Metro Wireless Internet Adapter is
the simple alternative for Internet connectivity in your
home. Because the Internet link is wireless, you can get
on without the hassle of a wired telephone or cable
connection. The high-powered radio creates a strong, fast
connection to the Metro Wireless Internet. Connect your
PC directly to the Adapter, or add a wireless access point
or network switch to connect multiple PCs – the built-in
DHCP server automatically provides Internet addresses to
all your PCs.
