ZyXEL G-220 v3 User’s Guide

1.2.3 Access Point Mode

You can also set the G-220 v3 to access point mode. In access point mode, your G-220 v3 functions as an access point. This allows you to set up your wireless networks without using a dedicated AP. The following figure shows a network example.

In the example, the G-220 v3 is installed on computer A and set to operate in access point mode. Computer A provides an Internet connection to the wireless LAN, so wireless stations B and C can access the Internet.
