Product Overview
Thank you for choosing the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband
Router. The Router lets you access the Internet via a
wireless connection, broadcast at up to 54 Mbps, or
through one of its four switched ports. You can also use
the Router to share resources such as computers, printers
and files. A variety of security features help to protect
your data and your privacy while online. Security features
include WPA2 security, a Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI)
firewall and NAT technology. Configuring the Router is
easy using the provided browser-based utility.

Front Panel

SecureEasySetup
logo is the Router's SecureEasySetup button. It
lights up and will stay orange when the Router
is powered on. The color orange indicates that
the Router is not using the SecureEasySetup
feature, while the color white indicates that the
Router is using the SecureEasySetup feature.
When the Router enters SecureEasySetup
mode, the Cisco logo will turn white and
start flashing. After the Router has generated
the SSID and WPA Personal key, the Cisco
logo will stop flashing and stay white.
To clear the SSID and WPA Personal key, press
and hold down the Cisco logo for five seconds.
The Cisco logo will flash slowly as the Router
resets itself. The Cisco logo will turn orange to
indicate a successful reset.
NOTE: SecureEasySetup is a feature that makes
it easy to set up your wireless network. If you
have SecureEasySetup devices, run the Router's
Setup Wizard CD-ROM and follow the on-
screen instructions to use SecureEasySetup.
