ZyXEL AG-120 User’s Guide

1.2.2 Access Point Mode

You can also set the AG-120 to access point mode. In access point mode, your AG-120 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.

Figure 3 Application: Access Point Mode

In the example, the AG-120 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.

Note: With WZC, you cannot use the AG-120 as an access point.

1.2.3 Changing AG-120 Mode

To change between the modes, select either Station Mode or AP Mode in any ZyXEL utility screens.
