Figure 9 ZyXEL Utility: Confirm Save

5 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.

6 Open your Internet browser and enter

http://www.zyxel.com

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, check the Troubleshooting section of this User's Guide
or contact your network administrator.

2.2 Creating and Using a Profile

A profile lets your wireless client connect to the same wireless network every time you use the
ZyXEL Utility. 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 access
point configured for WPA-PSK security. In this example, the AP’s SSID is “SSID_Example3”
and its pre-shared key is “ThisismyWPA-PSKpre-sharedkey”. You have chosen the Profile
Name “PN_Example3”
