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 SSID is “SSID_Example3” and

the pre-shared key is “ThisismyWPA-PSKpre-sharedkey” in the AP. You have chosen the

profile name “PN_Example3”.

Open the ZyXEL utility and click the

Profile

tab to open the screen as shown. Click

Add

to configure a new profile.

screen appears. The wireless client automatically searches for

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.
