Configure Your Wireless Client
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.
1
The NBG-418N v2 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.
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.

Using Multiple SSIDs on the NBG-418N v2
You can configure more than one SSID on a NBG-418N v2. See
Section 6.10 on page 72
.
This allows you to configure multiple independent wireless networks on the NBG-418N v2 as if there
were multiple APs (virtual APs). Each virtual AP has its own SSID, and wireless security type. That
is, each SSID on the NBG-418N v2 represents a different access point/wireless network to wireless
clients in the network.
Clients can associate only with the SSIDs for which they have the correct security settings. Clients
using different SSIDs can access the Internet and the wired network behind the NBG-418N v2
(such as a printer).

For example, you may set up three wireless networks (
A
,
B
and
C
) in your office.
A
is for workers,
B
is for guests and
C
is specific to a VoIP device in the meeting room.
5.5.1
Configuring Security Settings of Multiple SSIDs
The NBG-418N v2 is in router mode by default.
This example shows you how to configure the SSIDs with the following parameters on your NBG-
418N v2 (in router mode).
1
Connect your computer to the LAN port of the NBG-418N v2 using an Ethernet cable.
2
The default IP address of the NBG-418N v2 in router mode is “192.168.1.1”. In this case, your
computer must have an IP address in the range between “192.168.1.2” and “192.168.1.254”.
3
Click
Start > Run
on your computer in Windows. Type “cmd” in the dialog box. Enter “ipconfig” to
show your computer’s IP address. If your computer’s IP address is not in the correct range then see
Appendix C on page 175
for information on changing your computer’s IP address.
4
After you’ve set your computer’s IP address, open a web browser such as Internet Explorer and
5
Enter “1234” (default) as the password and click
