3.1 Connect to the Wireless Network

This section describes how to connect the wireless client to your WiFi network.

3.1.1 Connecting to a Wireless LAN

The following sections show you how to join a wireless network using the ZyXEL utility, as in
the following diagram. The wireless client is labelled C and the access point is labelled AP.
There are three ways to connect the client to an access point.
• Configure nothing and leave the wireless client to automatically scan for and connect to
any available network that has no wireless security configured.
• Manually connect to a network.
• Configure a profile to have the wireless client automatically connect to a specific network
or peer computer.
This example illustrates how to manually connect your wireless client to an access point (AP)
which is configured for WPA-PSK security and connected to the Internet. Before you connect
to the access point, you must know its Service Set IDentity (SSID) and WPA-PSK pre-shared
key. In this example, the SSID is "SSID_Example3" and the pre-shared key is
"ThisismyWPA-PSKpre-sharedkey".
After you install the ZyXEL utility and then insert the wireless client, follow the steps below
to connect to a network using the Site Survey screen.
