Wireless-G Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports
PCs equipped with wireless cards or adapters can communicate without cumbersome cables. By sharing the
same wireless settings, within their transmission radius, they form a wireless network, which is sometimes
called a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). The Router bridges wireless networks of both 802.11b and
802.11g standards and wired networks, allowing them to communicate with each other.
To create your network, install and set up the Router. To guide you through the process, Linksys strongly
recommends that you run the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM. If you prefer to manually set up the Router,
use the instructions in this Installation and Troubleshooting Guide to help you. These instructions should be all
you need to get the most out of the Wireless-G Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports.
