Example of a Simple Wireless Network
Wireless-G Exterior Access Point
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 12 VDC on 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

The above diagram shows a typical infrastructure wireless network setup. The Wireless Access Points are
connecting to a Linksys switch that provides power to the Access Points. Each Access Point can connect multiple
wireless devices to the network. This network will provide connectivity among wireless network devices and PCs
that have a wired connection to the switch.
The switch then can connect to a router that can connect to an ISP to reach global Internet.
