Section 1:Overview

Congratulations on purchasing the Motorola Wireless Ethernet Bridge WE800G.

With the WE800G, any Ethernet-equipped hardware can join a wireless home or small office network. That’s desktops, printers, peripherals, game consoles… anything with an Ethernet port. Even better, this smart device is able to seamlessly transition between two separate networks. Say, your home and office. Or home and the coffee shop. Or wherever you want to connect.

Add the WE800G to a game console or other Ethernet equipped device to join an 802.11g wireless network. Once connected, you can access an Internet broadband connection on a wireless network. And, that’s just the beginning. You can also share files, pictures, peripherals, printers, and more. You’ll need one WE800G for each device and a router or switch.

The WE800G is built with both the popular 802.11b wireless standard and the new nearly 5-times-faster 802.11g standard, providing you the ultimate in flexibility and speed. With Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) supported, your wireless connections are robust and secure, giving you the security to communicate without fear that your signal might be compromised.

Upgradeable firmware keeps the WE800G control software up-to-date. The WE800G captures the latest technology in a package that stays current, connects various products to your home network, and provides you easy home network management.
