ZyXEL G-220 v2 User’s Guide

Chapter 1 Getting Started 25

can associate to the ZyXEL G-220 v2 to form a wireless network. Refer to Section 1.7.1 on

page 25 and Chapter 4 on page 53 for more information.

Note: With WZC, you cannot use the ZyXEL G-220 v2 as an access point.

1.7.1 Change ZyXEL G-220 v2 Mode

To change between the modes, select either the Station Mode or AP Mode option in any

ZyXEL Utility screens.
