Configuration

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

4.1 Access Point Mode Introduction

To set your ZyXEL G-220F as an Access Point (AP), refer to Section 1.7.1 on page 23.

In access point mode, your ZyXEL G-220F 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-220F.

4.1.1 Additional Setup Requirements

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

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

2Either configure network sharing (refer to Appendix B on page 64 for an example) or bridge the two interfaces (wireless and wired) on the computer.

3Set the wireless station’s IP address to be in the same subnet as the computer in which the ZyXEL G-220F is installed. Refer to Appendix F on page 90.

4.2The Link Info Screen

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