1.7 Connecting to a Wireless LAN

The following sections show you how to associate with a network using the ZyXEL Utility.

You can either manually connect to a network or configure a profile to have the ZyXEL G-

270S automatically connect to a specific network. Otherwise, configure nothing and leave the

ZyXEL G-270S to automatically scan for and connect to any other available network without

security.

See the next chapters for detailed field descriptions.

After you install the ZyXEL Utility and then insert the ZyXEL G-270S, follow the steps below

to connect to a network using the Site Survey screen.

1 Make sure a wireless network is available and within range.

2 Open the ZyXEL Utility and click the Site Survey tab to open the screen as shown next.

3 Click Scan to search for available wireless networks.

4 To join a network, either click an SSID in the table and then click Connect or double-

click an SSID.

5 If the wireless security is activated for the selected wireless network, the Security

Settings screen displays. This screen varies according to the network's encryption

method. Configure the same security settings as the associated network.

Note: If the selected network is unavailable or security settings are not correct, the

ZyXEL G-270S will be disconnected.
