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.
