5.1.2 Additional Setup Requirements

To bridge your wired and wireless network using the AG-220, the following requirements

must be met:

1 The AG-220 must be installed on a computer connected to the wired network.

2 Either bridge the two interfaces (wireless and wired) on the computer (using the

Configuration screen of the ZyXEL utility in Windows XP) or configure network

sharing (refer to Appendix B on page 75 for an example).

3 Set the wireless station’s IP address to be dynamic if you want the wireless stations to

access the wired network or the Internet through the AG-220. Refer to Appendix E on

page 97 for how to configure your computer’s IP address.
