This section describes how to connect the wireless client to a network.

The following sections show you how to join a wireless network using the ZyXEL utility, as in 
the following diagram. The wireless client is labelled C and the access point is labelled 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.
