Note: We use the ZyXEL M-302 wireless adapter utility screens as an example for the
wireless client. The screens may vary for different models.

The NBG-416N supports IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n wireless
clients. Make sure that your notebook or computer’s wireless adapter supports
one of these standards.

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.
