The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this section.

On a local area network (LAN) or other network, the MAC address is a computer's 
unique hardware number. On an Ethernet LAN, it's the same as your Ethernet 
address. The MAC layer frames data for transmission over the network, then 
passes the frame to the physical layer interface where it is transmitted as a 
stream of bits.

The terms and concepts introduced in 

 apply to this chapter 

as well.

Make sure the ZyXEL Utility is already installed. See the Quick Start Guide for 
more.

requirements must be met:

• The N220 must be installed on a computer connected to the wired network.
• Either bridge the two interfaces (wireless and wired) on the computer (using the 

Configuration screen) or configure network sharing.

• Set the wireless station’s IP address to be dynamic if you want the wireless 

stations to access the wired network or the Internet through the N220. Refer to
