Configuration

This chapter shows you how to configure your ZyXEL G-220 v2 in access point mode.

4.1 Access Point Mode Introduction

To set your ZyXEL G-220 v2 as an Access Point (AP), refer to Section 1.7.1 on page 25.

In access point mode, your ZyXEL G-220 v2 functions as an access point. This allows you to set up your wireless networks without using a dedicated AP device. Up to 16 wireless stations can associate to the ZyXEL G-220 v2.

4.1.1 Additional Setup Requirements

To bridge your wired and wireless network using the ZyXEL G-220 v2, the following requirements must be met:

1The ZyXEL G-220 v2 must be installed on a computer connected to the wired network.

2Either bridge the two interfaces (wireless and wired) on the computer (using the Configuration screen of the ZyXEL utility in Windows XP) or configure network sharing (refer to Appendix B on page 67 for an example).

3Set the wireless station’s IP address to be in the same subnet as the computer in which the ZyXEL G-220 v2 is installed. Refer to Appendix F on page 95.

4.2The Link Info Screen

Select the AP Mode radio button and wait for about five seconds to display the screen as shown.
