Setting Up a Secure Wireless Network
Thomas wants to set up a wireless network so that he can use his notebook to access the Internet.
In this wireless network, the Device serves as an access point (AP), and the notebook is the
wireless client. The wireless client can access the Internet through the AP.
Thomas has to configure the wireless network settings on the Device. Then he can set up a wireless
network using WPS (
Section 4.3.2 on page 37
) or manual configuration (
Section 4.3.3 on page 41
).
4.3.1
Configuring the Wireless Network Settings

Thomas can now use the WPS feature to establish a wireless connection between his notebook and
the Device (see
Section 4.3.2 on page 37
). He can also use the notebook’s wireless client to search
for the Device (see
Section 4.3.3 on page 41
).
4.3.2
Using WPS
This section shows you how to set up a wireless network using WPS. It uses the Device as the AP
and ZyXEL NWD210N as the wireless client which connects to the notebook.
Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter
or PCMCIA card).

There are two WPS methods to set up the wireless client settings:
•
Push Button Configuration (PBC)
- simply press a button. This is the easier of the two
methods.
•
PIN Configuration
- configure a Personal Identification Number (PIN) on the Device. A wireless
client must also use the same PIN in order to download the wireless network settings from the
Device.
Push Button Configuration (PBC)
1
Make sure that your Device is turned on and your notebook is within the cover range of the wireless
signal.
2
Make sure that you have installed the wireless client driver and utility in your notebook.
3
In the wireless client utility, go to the WPS setting page. Enable WPS and press the WPS button
(
Start
or
WPS
button).
4
Push and hold the
WPS
button located on the Device’s front panel for more than 5 seconds.
Alternatively, you may log into Device’s web configurator and go to the
Network Setting >
Wireless >
WPS
screen. Enable the WPS function for method 1 and click
Apply
. Then click the
Connect
button.
Note: Your Device has a WPS button located on its front 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.

pressing a button on both Device and wireless client.
Example WPS Process: PBC Method
PIN Configuration
When you use the PIN configuration method, you need to use both the Device’s web configurator
