2.3.2 Creating and Using a Profile
A profile lets you automatically connect to the same wireless network every time you use the ZyXEL
utility. You can also configure different profiles for different networks, for example if you connect a
notebook computer to wireless networks at home and at work.
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”.
