Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet

Network Layout

The Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet 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 when you want to enjoy USB connectivity. These wireless products can also communicate with a 802.11g or 802.11b Wireless PrintServer.

To link your wired network with your wireless network, connect the Access Point’s Ethernet network port to any switch or router. If you want to use Power Over Ethernet (POE), then connect the Access Point to any switch or router that complies with the POE standard (802.3af)—or you can use a POE injector, such as the Linksys WAPPOE or WAPPOE12.

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