Linksys WET11 v2 Wireless Bridge – Quick Start
Thank you for your purchase. Here’s a quick-start routine for this device that we find works very well.
1. Connect the bridge directly to an available port on your router using the wired cable provided with the device. (If
you don’t have an available port, simply disconnect a device temporarily.) Please do not attempt to configure the
device any other way. Though the manual and Linksys tech support may suggest a connection to a PC works, in
our experience it doesn’t work with any degree of reliability. Save yourself some headache and connect it directly
to your router.
2. Make sure the crossover switch on the back of the WET11 bridge is in the || position, NOT the |X| position.
3. Plug the AC adapter into a power outlet and then into the device.
4. Using the end of a bent paperclip or the fine point of a pencil or other instrument, press in and hold the reset
button located on the back of the bridge for a few seconds to restore the device to factory defaults. At this point
you should see that the PWR and the LAN indicator lights on the bridge are both lit. If the LAN light is not lit at
this point, please go back to step 1. (We rest it after testing and prior to shipping, but it won’t hurt for you to do it
again.) If you get back to this step again and you do not get a lit LAN indicator light, you might try connecting the
WET11’s cable to another port on the router. The best bet at this point is to use a port you’re already using for
another device that you know if working and on the network. (Don’t disconnect the PC you plan to configure the
WET11 from.)
5. On a PC that's connected by a network cable to the same network router, open your browser (Internet Explorer
only please) and type in http://192.168.1.225/ (Those are periods in between the numbers.) Please do not try to
configure the device from a PC connected to your network wirelessly.
6. A dialogue box will open and the bridge's internal browser-based configuration utility should prompt you for a
username and password. Leave the username blank and TAB to the password field and enter the default
password, 'admin'. (Do not enter the quotes, just the word.)
7. You are now in the Setup. Many of you already know what to do once you get here. There are far too many
options for us to cover in this quick guide. The Linksys User Guide provides detail on all the options available
here. You can get the instructions by entering this into your browser’s address bar:

8. One you’ve configured the device to work with your network, don’t forget to flip the crossover switch on the back
of the device to the |X| position.
