The NBG6817 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 NBG6817 securely.
The following figure shows you the example to set up wireless network and security on NBG6817
and wireless client (ex. NWD210N in this example) by using PIN method.

8.3.1
Configure Your Notebook
Note: In this example, we use the ZyXEL NWD6505 wireless adapter as the wireless
client and use the Windows built-in utility (Windows Zero Configuration (WZC)) to
connect to the wireless netwok.
1
The NBG6817 supports IEEE 802.11a, 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 driver and attached the NWD6505 to your computer’s USB port, right-
click the
Wireless Network Connection
icon in your computer’s system tray, select and click
View Available Wireless Networks
.
4
The
Wireless Network Connection
screen displays. Click
Refresh network list

Check the status of your wireless connection in the screen below.

If the wireless client keeps trying to connect to or acquiring an IP address from the NBG6817, make
sure you entered the correct security key.
If the connection has limited or no connectivity, make sure the DHCP server is enabled on the
NBG6817.
If your connection is successful, open your Internet browser and enter
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.
8.4
Using Guest SSIDs on the NBG6817
You can configure more than one guest SSID on a NBG6817. See
Section 11.4 on page 103
.
This allows you to configure multiple independent wireless networks on the NBG6817 as if there
were multiple APs (virtual APs). Each guest SSID has its own wireless security type. That is, each
SSID on the NBG6817 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 NBG6817 (such as
a printer).
