Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for my desktop. In my home I run WPA2. Documentation is so poor (and wrong), I almost return this bridge. Called Linksys support, the didn't have any clue. Then I found an email from Linksys support and it is now working like a champ. Linksys should add this in the documentation. My WET54G is running ver. 3.2. Here is the documentation. I modified couple of places to make it clear. Good luck.
You are trying to setup your network bridge. Please try the following steps in setting it up.
1. Connect the cable supplied with the bridge from the Network Bridge to a computer.
2. With the device on, hold down the reset button for 30 seconds. Then turn it off for 10 seconds.
3. Assign a static IP on your computer.
a. Click on Start > run > type "ncpa.cpl"
b. Right click on the Local Area Connection and select Properties.
c. Select Internet Protocol TCP/IP and click Properties.
d. Click on Use the following IP Address and assign the following values:
IP Address: 192.168.1.5
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1. 226
DNS: leave these blank
e. Click OK and Close.
4. Open the Internet Explorer and on the address bar, type in 192.168.1.226
5. Leave the username blank and type admin on the password field. You can also try typing admin on both username and password.
6. On the setup screen make sure to have the following settings:
a. Configuration Type: Static IP
b. IP Address: must be on the same range as your router's IP Address.
Example:
(i). If the Router's IP is 192.168.1.1 then, IP Address here would be 192.168.1.226.
(ii). If the Router's IP is 192.168.0.1 then IP Address here would be 192.168.0.226.
' As you can see, first three sets of decimals are similar to the router's IP Address.
c. Subnet Mask: the subnet mask that your router uses. For most routers, it is 255.255.255.0 (leave the Gateway to 0.0.0.0)
d. SSID. This the Wireless Network name of your router. It can be checked on your router, or you can also check this on your working wireless computers as it will be displayed under the available wireless networks.
e. Network Type: Infrastructure.
f. Security: this should match to the wireless security or wireless encryption of your router.
7. When the settings are all set, hit apply.
