Introduction
Welcome
Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Wireless-N Access Point with Power Over Ethernet. This Access
Point will allow you to network wirelessly better than ever. An access point allows for greater
range and mobility within your wireless network while also allowing you to connect the
wireless network to a wired environment. The WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) feature is also
supported to help you simplify the setting up and configure security on a wireless network. The
Wireless-N Access Point even offers the convenience of Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability (in
addition to regular 12VDC power adaptor), so it can receive data and power over a single
Ethernet network cable.
This Access Point supports the latest 802.11n draft Specification by IEEE early 2006. It also
support 802.11g and 802.11b clients in a mixed environment. This Access Point currently can
support an 11n data rate up to 300 Mbps. Besides the higher data rate, 802.11n technology also
promises longer coverage by using multiple antennas to transmit and receive data streams in
different directions. Users are encouraged to update their firmware through www.linksys.com
when 802.11n specification is finalized by IEEE to ensure compatibility with all the wireless-N
devices.
Networks are useful tools for sharing computer resources. You can access one printer from
different computers and access data located on another computer's hard drive. Networks are
even used for playing multiplayer video games. So, networks are not only useful in homes and
offices, they can also be fun.
PCs on a wired network create a LAN, or Local Area Network. They are connected with Ethernet
cables, which is why the network is called "wired".
PCs equipped with wireless client cards or adapters can communicate without cumbersome
cables. By sharing the same wireless settings within their transmission radius, they form a
wireless network. This is sometimes called a WLAN, or Wireless Local Area Network. The Access
Point bridges wireless networks of 802.11n, 802.11g and 802.11b standards and wired
networks.
Use the instructions in this Guide to help you connect the Access Point, set it up, and configure
it to bridge your different networks. These instructions should be all you need to get the most
out of the Access Point.

Planning Your Wireless Network
Network Topology
Planning Your Wireless Network
Network Topology
A wireless network is a group of computers, each equipped with one or more wireless adapters.
Computers in a wireless network must be configured to share the same radio channel to talk to
each other. Several PCs equipped with wireless cards or adapters can communicate with each
other to form an ad-hoc network without the use of an access point.
Linksys also provides products to allow wireless adaptors to access wired network through a
bridge such as the wireless access point, or wireless router. An integrated wireless and wired
network is called an infrastructure network. Each wireless PC in an infrastructure network can
talk to any computer in a wired or wireless network via the access point or wireless router.
An infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of a wireless PC to a wired network,
and may double the effective wireless transmission range for two wireless adapter PCs. Since
an Access Point is able to forward data within a network, the effective transmission range in an
infrastructure network may be more than doubled since Access Point can transmit signal at
higher power to the wireless space.
Roaming
Infrastructure mode also supports roaming capabilities for mobile users. Roaming means that
you can move your wireless PC within your network and the access points will pick up the
wireless PC's signal, providing that they both share the same wireless network (SSID) and
wireless security settings.
Before you consider roaming, choose a feasible radio channel and optimum access point
position. Proper access point positioning combined with a clear radio signal will greatly
enhance performance.
Network Layout
The Wireless-N Access Point has been designed for use with 802.11n, 802.11g and 802.11b
products. The Access Point is compatible with 802.11n, 802.11g and 802.11b adapters, such as
the notebook adapters for your laptop computers, PCI adapters for your desktop PCs, and USB
adapters for all PCs when you want to enjoy wireless connectivity. These wireless products can
also communicate with a 802.11n, 802.11g or 802.11b wireless print server (if available).
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 the 12 VDC on the 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 www.linksys.com for more information about wireless products.

Example of a simple wireless network
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.

Overview
Setting Up the Wireless-N Access Point
Overview
The Access Point has been designed to be functional right out of the box with the default
settings. However, if you'd like to change these settings, the Access Point can be configured
through your web browser with the Web-based Utility. This chapter explains how to use the
Utility to perform the most basic settings.
NOTE: Make sure you have Enabled TCP/IP on your PCs
prior to proceeding. PCs communicate over the network
with this protocol.
The Utility can be accessed via web browsers, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla
Firefox through the use of a computer that is networked with the Access Point.
For a basic network setup, most users only have to use the following screens of the Utility:
• Setup
On the Setup screen, enter your basic network settings (IP address) here.
• Management
Click the Administration tab and then select the Management screen. The Access
Point’s default password is admin. To secure the Access Point, change the AP Password
from its default.
Most users will also customize their wireless settings:
• Wireless
On the Wireless screen, change default SSID under the Basic Wireless Settings Tab.
Select the level of security under the Wireless Security Tab and complete the options
for the selected security mode.
Accessing the Utility
There are three ways to connect to your Access Point for the first time.
• If you have a 48VDC Power Injector (e.g. Linksys WAPPOE), power up your Access Point
first, then connect the Injector’s cable to your PC. Configure your PC to have the static IP
address on the same subnet as the Access Point’s default IP address (192.168.1.245).
• If you have a PoE switch (e.g. Linksys SRW224P), connect your Access Point and your PC
to the same network. Configure your PC to have the static IP address on the same
subnet as the Access Point’s default IP address (192.168.1.245). Or if there is a DHCP
server connected to the switch, configure it to assign the IP address in 192.168.1.0/24
subnet. Your PC will get an IP address in the subnet through the DHCP.
• Although it is not recommended, you can connect your PC wirelessly to the Access Point
when the DHCP server is connected on the LAN side. It is not recommended, because
you can easily lose your connection through configuration changes.

What is Ad-hoc?
An Ad-hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each with a WLAN adapter, connected as an
independent wireless LAN. An Ad-hoc wireless LAN is applicable at a departmental scale for a
branch or SOHO operation.
What is Infrastructure?
An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. Infrastructure is
applicable to enterprise scale for wireless access to a central database, or wireless application
for mobile workers.
What is roaming?
Roaming is the ability of a portable computer user to communicate continuously while moving
freely throughout an area greater than that covered by a single Access Point. Before using the
roaming function, the workstation must make sure that it is set to the same channel number as
the Access Point of the dedicated coverage area.
To achieve true seamless connectivity, the wireless LAN must incorporate a number of different
functions. Each node and Access Point, for example, must always acknowledge receipt of each
message. Each node must maintain contact with the wireless network even when not actually
transmitting data. Achieving these functions simultaneously requires a dynamic RF networking
technology that links Access Points and nodes. In such a system, the user’s end node
undertakes a search for the best possible access to the system. First, it evaluates such factors as
signal strength and quality, as well as the message load currently being carried by each Access
Point and the distance of each Access Point to the wired backbone. Based on that information,
the node next selects the right Access Point and registers its address. Communications
between end node and host computer can then be transmitted up and down the backbone.
As the user moves on, the end node’s RF transmitter regularly checks the system to determine
whether it is in touch with the original Access Point or whether it should seek a new one. When
a node no longer receives acknowledgment from its original Access Point, it undertakes a new
search. Upon finding a new Access Point, it then re-registers, and the communication process
continues.
What is the ISM band?
The FCC and their counterparts outside of the U.S. have set aside bandwidth for unlicensed use
in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band. Spectrum in the vicinity of 2.4 GHz, in
WAP4410N User Guide 45
Page 51
Frequently Asked Questions
particular, is being made available worldwide. This presents a truly revolutionary opportunity
to place convenient high speed wireless capabilities in the hands of users around the globe.
What is Spread Spectrum?
Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency technique developed by the
military for use in reliable, secure, mission-critical communications systems. It is designed to
trade off bandwidth efficiency for reliability, integrity, and security. In other words, more
bandwidth is consumed than in the case of narrowband transmission, but the trade-off
produces a signal that is, in effect, louder and thus easier to detect, provided that the receiver
knows the parameters of the spread-spectrum signal being broadcast. If a receiver is not tuned
to the right frequency, a spread-spectrum signal looks like background noise. There are two
main alternatives, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Frequency Hopping Spread
Spectrum (FHSS).
What is DSSS? What is FHSS? And what are their differences?
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) uses a narrowband carrier that changes
frequency in a pattern that is known to both transmitter and receiver. Properly synchronized,
the net effect is to maintain a single logical channel. To an unintended receiver, FHSS appears to
be short-duration impulse noise. Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) generates a
redundant bit pattern for each bit to be transmitted. This bit pattern is called a chip (or
chipping code). The longer the chip, the greater the probability that the original data can be
recovered. Even if one or more bits in the chip are damaged during transmission, statistical
techniques embedded in the radio can recover the original data without the need for
retransmission. To an unintended receiver, DSSS appears as low power wideband noise and is
rejected (ignored) by most narrowband receivers.
Would the information be intercepted while transmitting on air?
WLAN features two-fold protection in security. On the hardware side, as with Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum technology, it has the inherent security feature of scrambling. On the
software side, the WLAN series offers a variety of wireless security methods to enhance security
and access control. Users can set it up depending upon their needs.
Can Linksys wireless products support file and printer sharing?
Linksys wireless products perform the same function as LAN products. Therefore, Linksys
wireless products can work with NetWare, Windows NT/2000, or other LAN operating systems
to support printer or file sharing.
What is WEP?
WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based on a 40-bit shared-key
algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
What is a MAC Address?
The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique number assigned by the manufacturer to
any Ethernet networking device, such as a network adapter, that allows the network to identify
it at the hardware level. For all practical purposes, this number is usually permanent. Unlike IP
addresses, which can change every time a computer logs on to the network, the MAC address
of a device stays the same, making it a valuable identifier for the network.
WAP4410N User Guide 46
Page 52
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I avoid interference?
Using multiple Access Points on the same channel and in close proximity to one another will
generate interference. When employing multiple Access Points, make sure to operate each one
on a different channel (frequency).
How do I reset the Access Point?
Press the Reset button on the back of the Access Point for about ten seconds. This will reset the
unit to its default settings.
How do I resolve issues with signal loss?
There is no way to know the exact range of your wireless network without testing. Every
obstacle placed between an Access Point and wireless PC will create signal loss. Leaded glass,
metal, concrete floors, water, and walls will inhibit the signal and reduce range. Start with your
Access Point and your wireless PC in the same room and move it away in small increments to
determine the maximum range in your environment.
You may also try using different channels, as this may eliminate interference affecting only one
channel. Also, open the Access Point’s Web-based Utility. Click the Wireless tab and then the
Advanced Wireless tab. Make sure the Output Power is set to 100%.
Does the Access Point function as a firewall?
No. The Access Point is only a bridge from wired Ethernet to wireless clients.
I have excellent signal strength, but I cannot see my network.
Wireless security, such as WEP or WPA, is probably enabled on the Access Point, but not on your
wireless adapter (or vice versa). Verify that the same wireless security settings are being used on
all devices in your wireless network.
What is the maximum number of users the Access Point can handle?
No more than 63, but this depends on the volume of data and may be fewer if many users
create a large amount of network traffic.
How do I configure multiple WAP4410N Access Points with the same configuration?
1. Configure one Access Point and then save the configuration file through its web page.
2. Using a text editor, change the command "
secret_shown=1" to "secret_shown=0" in the
configuration file, and then save the file.
3. Restore the file to the Access Point through its web page and save the configuration,
naming it
AP_Config.cfg.
At this point, all keys and passwords are shown in clear text.
4. Restore the
WAP4410N User Guide 47
AP_config.cfg file on other Access Point’s through their web pages one by one.

Windows Help
Windows Help
Almost all wireless products require Microsoft Windows. Windows is the most used operating
system in the world and comes with many features that help make networking easier. These
features can be accessed through Windows Help and are described in this appendix.
TCP/IP
Before a computer can communicate with the Access Point, TCP/IP must be enabled. TCP/IP is a
set of instructions, or protocol, all PCs follow to communicate over a network. This is true for
wireless networks as well. Your PCs will not be able to utilize wireless networking without
having TCP/IP enabled. Windows Help provides complete instructions on enabling TCP/IP.
Shared Resources
If you wish to share printers, folder, or files over your network, Windows Help provides
complete instructions on utilizing shared resources.
Network Neighborhood/My Network Places
Other PCs on your network will appear under Network Neighborhood or My Network Places
(depending upon the version of Windows you're running). Windows Help provides complete
instructions on adding PCs to your network.

Security Precautions
Wireless Security
Linksys wants to make wireless networking as safe and easy for you as possible. The current
generation of Linksys products provide several network security features, but they require
specific action on your part for implementation. So, keep the following in mind whenever you
are setting up or using your wireless network.
Security Precautions
The following is a complete list of security precautions to take (at least steps 1 through 5 should
be followed):
1. Change the default SSID.
2. Disable SSID Broadcast.
3. Change the default password for the Administrator account.
4. Change the SSID periodically.
5. Use the highest encryption algorithm possible. Use WPA if it is available. Please note that
this may reduce your network performance.
6. Change the WEP encryption keys periodically.
NOTE: Some of these security features are available only
through the network router or access point. Refer to the
router or access point’s documentation for more
information.
Security Threats Facing Wireless Networks
Wireless networks are easy to find. Hackers know that in order to join a wireless network,
wireless networking products first listen for “beacon messages”. These messages can be easily
decrypted and contain much of the network’s information, such as the network’s SSID (Service
Set Identifier). Here are the steps you can take:
Change the administrator’s password regularly. With every wireless networking device you
use, keep in mind that network settings (SSID, WEP keys, etc.) are stored in its firmware. Your
network administrator is the only person who can change network settings. If a hacker gets a
hold of the administrator’s password, he, too, can change those settings. So, make it harder for a
hacker to get that information. Change the administrator’s password regularly.
SSID. There are several things to keep in mind about the SSID:
•Disable Broadcast
• Make it unique
• Change it often
WAP4410N User Guide 49
Page 55
Security Threats Facing Wireless Networks
Most wireless networking devices will give you the option of broadcasting the SSID. While this
option may be more convenient, it allows anyone to log into your wireless network. This
includes hackers. So, don’t broadcast the SSID.
Wireless networking products come with a default SSID set by the factory. (The Linksys default
SSID is “linksys”.) Hackers know these defaults and can check these against your network.
Change your SSID to something unique and not something related to your company or the
networking products you use.
Change your SSID regularly so that any hackers who have gained access to your wireless
network will have to start from the beginning in trying to break in.
MAC Addresses. Enable MAC Address filtering. MAC Address filtering will allow you to provide
access to only those wireless nodes with certain MAC Addresses. This makes it harder for a
hacker to access your network with a random MAC Address.
WEP Encryption. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is often looked upon as a cure-all for wireless
security concerns. This is overstating WEP’s ability. Again, this can only provide enough security
to make a hacker’s job more difficult.
There are several ways that WEP can be maximized:
• Use the highest level of encryption possible
• Use “Shared Key” authentication
• Change your WEP key regularly
WPA/WPA2 Personal. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) This method offers two encryption
methods, TKIP and AES, with dynamic encryption keys.
WPA /WPA2 Enterprise. This option requires that your LAN has a RADIUS server for
authentication.
A network encrypted with WPA/WPA2 is more secure than a network encrypted with WEP,
because WPA/WPA2 uses dynamic key encryption. To protect the information as it passes over
the airwaves, you should enable the highest level.
Implementing encryption may have a negative impact on your network’s performance, but if
you are transmitting sensitive data over your network, encryption should be used.
These security recommendations should help keep your mind at ease while you are enjoying
the most flexible and convenient technology Linksys has to offer.
CAUTION: Always remember that each device in your
wireless network MUST use the same encryption method
and encryption key or your wireless network will not
function properly.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
WAP4410N User Guide 72
Page 78
Software Licenses:
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it.
By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share
and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public
License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program
whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered
by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public
Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free
software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if
you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that
you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights
or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must
give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can
get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license
which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone
understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by
someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the
original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors'
reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the
danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect
making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be
licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the
copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License.
The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the
term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
WAP4410N User Guide 73
Page 79
Software Licenses:
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License;
they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from
the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program
(independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on
what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it,
in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to
this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a
copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option
offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work
based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of
Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed
the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains
or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to
all third parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must
cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or
display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that
there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of
this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such
an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an
announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work
are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and
separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections
when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part
of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the
terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and
thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written
entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative
or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or
with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not
bring the other work under the scope of this License.
WAP4410N User Guide 74
Page 80
Software Licenses:
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object
code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do
one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for
a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange;
or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute
corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution
and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer,
in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it.
For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it
contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source
code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or
binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system
on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a
designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place
counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy
the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided
under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the
Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their
licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing
else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These
actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or
distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of
this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the
Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient
automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the
Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on
the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing
compliance by third parties to this License.
WAP4410N User Guide 75
Page 81
Software Licenses:
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other
reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order,
agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you
from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your
obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royaltyfree redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through
you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely
from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance,
the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply
in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right
claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting
the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license
practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to
the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other
system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the
rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by
patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program
under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those
countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In
such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public
License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but
may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version
number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of
following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License,
you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution
conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we
sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving
the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE
PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE
WAP4410N User Guide 76

Software Licenses:
STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE,
YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY
COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE
OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR
OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
