We use the ZyXEL M-302 wireless adapter utility screens as an example for
the wireless client. The screens may vary for different models.
1
The NBG334W supports IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g wireless clients. Make sure
that your notebook or computer’s wireless adapter supports one of these standards.
2
Wireless adapters come with software sometimes called a “utility” that you install on
your computer. See your wireless adapter’s User’s Guide for information on how to do
that.
3
After you’ve installed the utility, open it. If you cannot see your utility’s icon on your
screen, go to
Start > Programs
and click on your utility in the list of programs that
appears. The utility displays a list of APs within range, as shown in the example screen
below.
