I am looking at getting the WAP54G but I don't have any wireless computers ... yet, but I am trying to find out (without much luck) if it is possible to access the browser interface over standard wired ethernet systems.

I am considering getting this AP but don't want to have it turned on all the time but not configured for security or anything so that people in my neighborhood can use my internet.

If someone can confirm if accessing the interface from wired PCs is possible it would be great.

I figure it is possible, but Linksys just answered my question with 'you access the interface with a browser' they completely ignored my question about wired connections to the AP.

Thanks.
