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.

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.
