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 supports IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n and IEEE 802.11ac 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.

Overview
This chapter discusses how to configure the wireless network settings in your NBG. See the
appendices for more detailed information about wireless networks.
The following figure provides an example of a wireless network.
Figure 64
Example of a Wireless Network
The wireless 2.4G network is the part in the blue circle and wireless 5G network is the part in the
green circle. In these wireless networks, devices A, B and C are called wireless clients. The wireless
clients use the access point (AP) to interact with other devices (such as the printer) or with the
Internet.
