3.3.3 Configuring the Wireless Client

This section describes how to connect the wireless client to a network.
3.3.3.1 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 labeled C and the access point is labeled AP.
Wireless LAN Setup
C
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 "12MyWPAPSKpresharedkey34".
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.
Open the ZyXEL utility and click the Site Survey tab to open the screen shown next.
