CHAPTER 1
Getting Started
This chapter introduces the G-210H and prepares you to use the ZyXEL utility.
1.1 About Your G-210H
The G-210H is an IEEE 802.11b/g compliant wireless LAN adapter that connects to the USB
port on your computer and allows you to search for and connect to wireless networks. The
ZyXEL utility is a tool that helps you configure your G-210H. When connectced to the USB
port, you can search for the best direction to point the G-210H by simply looking at the
number of LED’s that illuminate.
For more information about using the G-210H when it is not connected to a computer, please
see the Quick Start Guide.
1.2 Application Overview
This section describes some network applications for the G-210H.

The G-210H is in wireless station mode by default. When the G-210H works as a wireless
station (wireless client), you can either set the network type to Infrastructure and connect to
an AP or use Ad-Hoc mode and connect to a peer computer (another wireless device in Ad-
Hoc mode).
1.2.1.1 Infrastructure

Infrastructure. Through the AP, you can access the Internet or the wired network behind the
