This chapter introduces the AG-225H v2 and prepares you to use the ZyXEL utility.

1.1 About Your AG-225H v2

The AG-225H v2 is an IEEE 802.11a/b/g compliant wireless LAN adapter that connects to the

USB port on your computer and allows you to search for and connect to wireless networks.

You can also turn your AG-225H v2 into an access point (AP) using the ZyXEL utility. The
