    Linksys also provides products to allow wireless adaptors to access wired network through a bridge such as the wireless access point, or wireless router. An integrated wireless and wired network is called an infrastructure infrastructure: a wireless network that is bridged to a wired network.

  • Page 11: Network Layout

    To link your wired network with your wireless network, connect the Access Point’s Ethernet network port to any switch or router with Power over Ethernet (PoE)—or a PoE injector, such as the Linksys WAPPOE or WAPPOE12. Note that the 12 VDC on the WAPPOE12 is for the splitter output. Both PoE Injectors provide 48 VDC power output.

  • Page 12: Example Of A Simple Wireless Network
