Network Layout

The Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet and Rangebooster has been designed for use with 802.11g and 802.11b products. The Access Point is compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b adapters, such as the notebook adapters for your laptop computers, PCI adapters for your desktop PCs, and USB adapters for all PCs when you want to enjoy wireless connectivity. These wireless products can also communicate with an 802.11g or 802.11b wireless print server (if available).

To link your wired network with your wireless network, connect the Access Point’s Ethernet network port to any switch or router with Power over Ethernet (PoE)—or a PoE injector, such as the Linksys WAPPOE or WAPPOE12. Note that the 12 VDC on the WAPPOE12 is for the splitter output. Both PoE Injectors provide 48 VDC power output.

With these, and many other, Linksys products, your networking options are limitless. Go to the Linksys website at
