How to Connect to the Internet from an AP
This section gives you an example of how to set up an access point (
AP
) and wireless client (a
notebook,
B
in this example) for wireless communication.
B
can access the Internet through the AP
wirelessly.

Configure Wireless Security Using WPS on both your NBG-418N and
Wireless Client
This section gives you an example of how to set up wireless network using WPS. This example uses
the NBG-418N as the AP and NWD210N as the wireless client which connects to a notebook.
Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter
or PCI card).
There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection. This tutorial shows you how to do
both.
Push Button Configuration (PBC)
- create a secure wireless network simply by pressing a
button. See
Section 5.2.1.1 on page 58
.This is the easier method.
PIN Configuration
- create a secure wireless network simply by entering a wireless client's PIN
(Personal Identification Number) in the NBG-418N’s interface. See
Section 5.2.1.2 on page 59
.
This is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other.

5.2.1.1
Push Button Configuration (PBC)
1
Make sure that your NBG-418N is turned on and that it is within range of your computer.
2
Make sure that you have installed the wireless client (this example uses the NWD210N) driver and
utility in your notebook.
3
In the wireless client utility, find the WPS settings. Enable WPS and press the WPS button (
Start
or
WPS
button)
4
Log into NBG-418N’s Web Configurator and press
Push Button
in the
Network
>
Wireless LAN
>
WPS Station
screen.
Note: Your NBG-418N has a WPS button located on its panel, as well as a WPS button in
its configuration utility. Both buttons have exactly the same function; you can use
one or the other.
Note: It doesn’t matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second button
within two minutes of pressing the first one.
The NBG-418N sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up to
two minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the NBG-418N securely.
The following figure shows you an example to set up wireless network and security by pressing a
button on both NBG-418N and wireless client (the NWD210N in this example).

PIN Configuration
When you use the PIN configuration method, you need to use both NBG-418N’s configuration
interface and the client’s utilities.
1
Launch your wireless client’s configuration utility. Go to the WPS settings and select the PIN method
to get a PIN number.
2
Enter the PIN number to the
PIN
field in the
Network
>
Wireless LAN
>
WPS Station
screen on
the NBG-418N.
3
Click the
Start
buttons (or button next to the PIN field) on both the wireless client utility screen and
the NBG-418N’s
WPS Station
screen within two minutes.
The NBG-418N authenticates the wireless client and sends the proper configuration settings to the
wireless client. This may take up to two minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate
with the NBG-418N securely.
The following figure shows you the example to set up wireless network and security on NBG-418N
and wireless client (ex. NWD210N in this example) by using PIN method.
