Getting Started
This chapter introduces the G-202 and prepares you to use the ZyXEL utility.
1.1 About Your G-202
The G-202 is an IEEE 802.11b/g compliant wireless LAN adapter. You can also use the
ZyXEL utility to turn your G-202 into an access point (AP). The ZyXEL utility is a tool that
helps you configure your G-202. See the appendix for detailed product specifications.
