2.1 How to Set up a Wireless Network
This tutorial gives you examples of how to set up an access point and wireless client for
wireless communication using the following parameters. The wireless clients can access the
Internet through an AP wirelessly.
2.1.1 Example Parameters
An access point (AP) or wireless router is referred to as “AP” and a computer with a wireless
network card or USB/PCI adapter is referred to as “wireless client” here.
We use the ZyXEL Device web screens and M-302 utility screens as an example. The screens
may vary slightly for different models.

Follow the steps below to configure the wireless settings on your AP.
1 Open the Network > Wireless LAN screen in the AP’s web configurator.
