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 .
