Troubleshooting and Help
This appendix provides solutions to problems that may occur during the installation and
operation of the Wireless-N Access Point with Power Over Ethernet. Read the descriptions
below to help solve your problems. If you can't find an answer here, check the Linksys website

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Access Point act as my DHCP Server?
No. The Access Point is nothing more than a wireless hub, and as such cannot be configured to
handle DHCP capabilities.
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 documentation 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 (local area network). Refer to the
game's documentation for more information.
Can the Access Point work with a Centrio client?
Yes. However, a Centrio client only supports 20 MHz channels so the maximum throughput
with this client will be 130 Mbps. A WPC300N is recommended instead.
What is the IEEE 802.11b standard?
It is one of the IEEE standards for wireless networks. The 802.11b standard allows wireless
networking hardware from different manufacturers to communicate, provided that the
hardware complies with the 802.11b standard. The 802.11b standard states a maximum data
transfer rate of 11Mbps and an operating frequency of 2.4GHz.
What is the IEEE 802.11g standard?
It is one of the IEEE standards for wireless networks. The 802.11g standard allows wireless
networking hardware from different manufacturers to communicate, provided that the
hardware complies with the 802.11g standard. The 802.11g standard states a maximum data
transfer rate of 54Mbps and an operating frequency of 2.4GHz.
What is the IEEE 802.11n draft standard?
It is one of the IEEE standards for wireless networks that is being finalized. The 802.11n standard
will allow wireless networking hardware from different manufacturers to communicate,
provided that the hardware complies with the 802.11n standard. The 802.11n standard states a
maximum data transfer rate of 600Mbps and an operating frequency of either 2.4GHz or 5 GHz.
