Configuring the Wireless Client
This section describes how to connect the wireless client to a network.
3.3.3.1
Connecting to a Wireless LAN
The following sections show you how to join a wireless network using the ZyXEL
utility, as in the following diagram. The wireless client is labeled
C
and the access
point is labeled
AP
.
Wireless LAN Setup
There are three ways to connect the client to an access point.
•
Configure nothing and leave the wireless client to automatically scan for and
connect to any available network that has no wireless security configured.
•
Manually connect to a network.
•
Configure a profile to have the wireless client automatically connect to a specific
network or peer computer.

This example illustrates how to manually connect your wireless client to an access
point (AP) which is configured for WPA-PSK security and connected to the
Internet. Before you connect to the access point, you must know its Service Set
IDentity (SSID) and WPA-PSK pre-shared key. In this example, the SSID is
“SSID_Example3” and the pre-shared key is “ThisismyWPA-PSKpre-sharedkey”.
After you install the ZyXEL utility and then insert the wireless client, follow the
steps below to connect to a network using the
Site Survey
screen.
1
Open the ZyXEL utility and click the
Site Survey
tab to open the screen shown
next.
Tutorial: Site Survey
2
The wireless client automatically searches for available wireless networks. Click
Scan
if you want to search again. If no entry displays in the
Available Network
List
, that means there is no wireless network available within range. Make sure
the AP or peer computer is turned on or move the wireless client closer to the AP
or peer computer.

prompting you to specify the security settings. Enter the pre-shared key and leave
the encryption type at the default setting.
Use the
Next

Back
button
at any time to return to the previous screen, or the
Exit
button to return to the

The ZyXEL utility returns to the
Link Info
screen while it connects to the wireless
network using your settings. When the wireless link is established, the ZyXEL
utility icon in the system tray turns green and the
Link Info
screen displays
details of the active connection. Check the network information in the
Link Info
screen to verify that you have successfully connected to the selected network. If
the wireless client is not connected to a network, the fields in this screen remain
blank.
Tutorial: Link Info

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.
If you cannot access the web site, try changing the encryption type in the
Security Settings
screen, check the Troubleshooting section of this User's Guide
or contact your network administrator.
3.3.3.2
Creating and Using a Profile
A profile lets you easily connect to the same wireless network again later. You can
also configure different profiles for different networks, for example if you connect
a notebook computer to wireless networks at home and at work.
This example illustrates how to set up a profile and connect the wireless client to
an AP configured for WPA-PSK security. In this example, the SSID is
“SSID_Example3”, the profile name is “PN_Example3” and the pre-shared key is
“ThisismyWPA-PSKpre-sharedkey”. You have chosen the profile name
“PN_Example3”.
