Chapter 5: Setting Up the
Wireless-B Access Point

Now that you’ve connected the Access Point to your wired network, you are
ready to begin setting it up. The Setup Wizard will take you through all the
steps necessary to configure the Access Point, so your wireless and wired net-
works will be able to communicate and share resources.

1. Insert the Setup Wizard CD into your PC’s CD-ROM drive. Optimally, your

PC should be on your wired network. 

2. The screen in Figure 5-1 should appear on your monitor. If it does not, this

means the autorun is not functioning. Start the autorun manually by click-
ing the Start button, selecting Run, and typing D:\setup.exe (if “D” is your
PC’s CD-ROM drive). Click the Setup button to run the Setup Wizard.
Clicking the User Guide button opened this User Guide. To access the
Linksys website on an active Internet connection, click the LINKSYS
WEB button, or to exit this Setup Wizard, click the Exit button.

Chapter 4: Connecting the
Wireless-B Access Point 

1. Locate an optimum location for the Access Point. The best place for the

Access Point is usually at the center of your wireless network, with line of
sight to all of your wireless devices.

2. Fix the direction of the antennas. Try to place it in a position which can best

cover your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antennas,
the better the performance will be. Their positioning enhances the receiving
sensitivity. Both antennas should be perpendicular to the ground and paral-
lel to each other.

3. Connect the included Category 5

Ethernet network cable to the Access
Point. Then, connect the other end of
the Ethernet cable to a switch or hub.
The Access Point will then be con-
nected to your wired network.

4. Connect the AC power adapter to the

Access Point’s Power port. Only use
the power adapter supplied with the
Access Point. Use of a different
adapter may result in product damage.

Have You: Connected the Access Point to a hub, switch, or router
on your wired network as shown in “Chapter 4: Connecting the
Wireless-B Access Point”?

Note: While the Access Point has been designed to work correctly
right out of the box, setting it up on a wireless computer will
require you to use the Linksys default settings. These settings can
then be changed through the Web-based Utility.

Note: In order for all other wireless devices to communicate with
the Access Point, those devices must be operating in the infrastruc-
ture mode. If any wireless devices are configured in the ad-hoc
mode, they will not be recognized by the Access Point.
