2.1.3 Before You Begin
• Make sure that you have already familiarized yourself with the NWD-211AN’s
features and hardware, as described in Chapter 1 on page 21.
• You should have valid login information for an existing network Access Point,
otherwise you may not be able to make a network connection right away.
2.2 Connecting to an AP using Wi-Fi Protected
Setup (WPS)
This section gives you an example of how to set up your wireless network using
WPS. This example uses the NWD-211AN as the wireless client, and ZyXEL’s
NBG334W as the Access Point (AP).
Note: The Access Point must be a WPS-aware device.
There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection. This tutorial shows
you both.
• Push Button Configuration (PBC) - create a secure wireless network simply
by pressing a button. See Section 2.2.1 on page 28.This is the easier method.
• PIN Configuration - create a secure wireless network simply by entering a
wireless client's PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the NWD-211AN’s
interface. See Section 2.2.2 on page 30. This is the more secure method, since
one device can authenticate the other.
2.2.1 Push Button Configuration (PBC)
1 Make sure that your access point is turned on and that it is within range of the
computer with the NWD-211AN installed.
2 Make sure that you have installed the NWD-211AN’s driver and utility on your
computer.
3 In the NWD-211AN’s utility, click the Adapter tab, enable WPS and select PBC
(Push Button Configuration). In the screen that appears, click Start.
4 Log into the AP’s web configurator and locate its WPS settings section. On the
NBG334W, press the Push Button button in the Network > Wireless Client >
WPS Station screen.
Note: It doesn’t matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second
button within two minutes of pressing the first one.
