5.3.2 Creating and Using a Profile

A profile lets you automatically connect to the same wireless network every time you use the
wireless client. 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 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".
1 Open the ZyXEL utility and click the Profile tab to open the screen shown next. Click

available wireless networks, which are displayed in the Scan Info box. Click on Scan if
you want to search again. You can also configure your profile for a wireless network that
is not in the list.
