Tutorials

10.1

Overview

This chapter provides tutorials for your NBG as follows:

•

Connecting to the Internet from an Access Point

•

Configuring Wireless Security Using WPS

•

Enabling and Configuring Wireless Security (No WPS)

•

If your connection is successful, open your Internet browser and enter http://www.zyxel.com or

the URL of any other web site in the address bar. If you are able to access the web site, your

wireless connection is successfully configured.

10.2

Connecting to the Internet from an Access Point

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

access point wirelessly.

10.3

Configuring Wireless Security Using WPS

This section gives you an example of how to set up wireless network using WPS. This example uses

the NBG 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 10.3.1 on page 73

.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’s interface. See

Section 10.3.2 on page 74

. This is

the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other.

10.3.1

Push Button Configuration (PBC)

1

Make sure that your NBG 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’s Web Configurator and press the

Push Button

button in the

Network

>

Wireless

LAN 2.4G

or

Wireless LAN 5G

>

screen.

Note: Your NBG 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 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 securely.

The following figure shows you an example to set up wireless network and security by pressing a

button on both NBG and wireless client (the NWD210N in this example).

PIN Configuration

When you use the PIN configuration method, you need to use both NBG’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

screen on the NBG.

3

Click

Start

button (or button next to the PIN field) on both the wireless client utility screen and the

NBG’s

WPS Device

screen within two minutes.

The NBG 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 securely.

The following figure shows you the example to set up wireless network and security on NBG and

wireless client (ex. NWD210N in this example) by using PIN method.
