ZyXEL Communications N220 User Manual

Chapter 2 Tutorial

N220 User’s Guide

• Make sure that you have already familiarized yourself with the N220’s features 

and hardware, as described in 

.

• 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.

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 

• PIN Configuration - create a secure wireless network simply by entering a 

wireless client's PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the N220’s interface. 

. This is the more secure method, since one device 

can authenticate the other.

Make sure that your access point is turned on and that it is within range of the 
computer with the N220 installed. 

Make sure that you have installed the N220’s driver and utility on your computer.

In the N220’s utility, click the Adapter tab, enable WPS and select PBC (Push 
Button Configuration). In the screen that appears, click Start. 

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.
