ZyXEL nbg-334sh Manuel D’Utilisation

Chapter 2 Wireless Tutorial

ZyXEL NBG-334SH User’s Guide

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.

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 
“ThisismyWPA-PSKpre-sharedkey”. 
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. 

1 Open the ZyXEL utility and click the Site Survey tab to open the screen shown next.

2 The wireless client automatically searches for available wireless networks. Click Scan if 

you want to search again. If no entry displays in the Available Network List, that means 
there is no wireless network available within range. Make sure the AP or peer computer 
is turned on or move the wireless client closer to the AP or peer computer.

3 When you try to connect to an AP with security configured, a window will pop up 

prompting you to specify the security settings. Enter the pre-shared key and leave the 
encryption type at the default setting.
Use the Next button to move on to the next screen. You can use the Back button at any 
time to return to the previous screen, or the Exit button to return to the Site Survey 
screen.
