802.11g Wireless Gaming Adapter and Ethernet Bridge

Before you begin
Consider your connection type

How will you use your 5430? If you want to game online through the Internet so you can play anyone around the world, you’ll want to set up your 5430 in Client Mode. You can also use the 5430 in Client Mode as an Ethernet bridge to connect any Ethernet device such as a computer, network printer, or digital video recorder (DVR) to a wireless network. If you want to play your friend in the same house or building and you each have a gaming console of the same brand (Xbox-to-Xbox, Playstation-to-Playstation, or other gaming consoles), you will need to set up your 5430 in Ad Hoc Mode. Select one of the following and follow the installation steps accordingly.

Note: You may need to have an online gaming kit for your gaming console. Be sure to check your gaming console documentation for the necessary hardware and network set up.

Client Mode (most commonly used when connecting your gaming console to the Internet, as demonstrated below; proceed to Client Mode installation):

Ad Hoc Mode (sometimes referred to as head-to-head or peer-to-peer, as demonstrated below; proceed to Ad Hoc Mode installation):

Client Mode Installation

If you do not have security enabled on your wireless network, proceed to Client Mode installation without security enabled.
If you have security enabled on your wireless network, proceed to Client Mode installation with security enabled (use Client Mode installation with security enabled if your wireless router or access point is not broadcasting your SSID or if you have WEP enabled).
If you are not sure whether you have security enabled on your wireless network, refer to your router and/or access point documentation before selecting one of the two options below.
