Chapter 1: Introduction

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 net-
work and its shared high-speed Internet connection. In the office, convert your
Ethernet-wired printer, scanner, camera, notebook or desktop into a wireless
networked device.
It’s completely driver-free, so it works on any platform and under any operat-
ing system! Since there are 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 anoth-
er one (or a Wireless-G Access Point) in the house, you’re connected—no dig-
ging trenches, and no overhead wires.
Let the Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge from Linksys open up exciting new possi-
bilities for your wireless network.
