Chapter 2 Tutorial
N220 User’s Guide
24
2.1.3 Before You Begin
• Make sure that you have already familiarized yourself with the N220’s features
and hardware, as described in Chapter 1 on page 17.
• You should have valid login information for an existing network Access Point,
otherwise you may not be able to make a network connection right away.
2.2 Connecting to an AP using Wi-Fi Protected
Setup (WPS)
This section gives you an example of how to set up your wireless network using
WPS. This example uses the N220 as the wireless client, and ZyXEL’s NBG334W as
the Access Point (AP).
Note: The Access Point must be a WPS-aware device.
There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection. This tutorial shows
you both.
• Push Button Configuration (PBC) - create a secure wireless network simply
by pressing a button. See Section 2.2.1 on page 24.This is the easier method.
• PIN Configuration - create a secure wireless network simply by entering a
wireless client's PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the N220’s interface.
See Section 2.2.2 on page 25. This is the more secure method, since one device
can authenticate the other.
2.2.1 Push Button Configuration (PBC)
1 Make sure that your access point is turned on and that it is within range of the
computer with the N220 installed.
2 Make sure that you have installed the N220’s driver and utility on your computer.
3 In the N220’s utility, click the Adapter tab, enable WPS and select PBC (Push
Button Configuration). In the screen that appears, click Start.
4 Log into the AP’s web configurator and locate its WPS settings section. On the
NBG334W, press the Push Button button in the Network > Wireless Client >
WPS Station screen.
Note: It doesn’t matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second
button within two minutes of pressing the first one.
