Access to the Wi-Fi Network
The Wireless-G IP Phone requires a wireless connection to
a Wi-Fi network to operate. The network must also have an
internet connection to make VoIP calls.
You can configure the phone to connect to a specific
wireless network or search for “open networks. Wireless
network information is stored in the phone’s memory as
“Preferred Networks” that are searched for each time the
phone is powered on.
When powering on the Wireless-G IP Phone for the first
time, after charging the phone, there are no Preferred
Networks in the phone’s memory. You need to select a
wireless network and sign in before you can make calls.
The information that follows assumes that you already
have an established Wi-Fi network. If you need more
information on networks, visit www.linksys.com.
NOTE: The handset should be within 300 feet
(90 m) of the Network to connect.
