This example illustrates how to set up a profile and connect the wireless client to an access
point configured for WPA-PSK security. In this example, the AP’s SSID is “SSID_Example3”
and its pre-shared key is “ThisismyWPA-PSKpre-sharedkey”. You have chosen the profile
name “PN_Example3”.
1 Open the ZyXEL utility and click the Profile tab to open the screen as shown. Click Add
to configure a new profile.

available wireless networks, which are displayed in the Scan Info box. You can also
configure your profile for a wireless network that is not in the list.

Infrastructure and either manually enter or select the AP's SSID in the drop down
menu . Finally, choose whether or not you wish to have the G-210H be on the maximum
power output level *default* or Power Save mode then click Select .
4 Choose the same encryption method as the AP to which you want to connect (In this
example, WPA-PSK and TKIP). Then type in the appropriate Pre-Shared Key which in
this case is ThisismyWPA-PSKpre-sharedkey.
