Tutorial
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.
Figure 6 Infrastructure Network
2.1 Connecting to an AP using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
This section gives you an example of how to set up your wireless network using WPS. This
example uses the NWD210N as the wireless client, and ZyXEL’s NBG334W as the Access
Point (AP).
"
The Access Point must be a WPS-aware device.
There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection. This tutorial shows you both.
• Push Button Configuration (PBC) - create a secure wireless network simply by pressing
a button. See Section 2.1.1 on page 27 .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 NWD210N’s interface. See Section
2.1.2 on page 29 . This is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the
other.
2.1.1 Push Button Configuration (PBC)
1 Make sure that your access point is turned on and that it is within range of the computer
with the NWD210N installed.
2 Make sure that you have installed the NWD210N’s driver and utility on your computer.
