About Your AG-220
The AG-220 is a wireless network adapter for your desktop or
notebook computer. It plugs into your computer’s USB port
and allows you to access available wireless networks.
Use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to connect to other WPS-
enabled devices in a few steps. WPS allows you to set up a
secure wireless network at the press of a button (Windows
Vista).
Installation Requirements
Before installation, make sure you have a computer with the
following:
• Pentium II 300 MHz or above

• A CD-ROM drive
• Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), Windows ME, Windows
2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista
• Windows 98 SE users may need the Windows 98 SE CD.

ZyXEL Utility Icons
After you install the ZyXEL utility and insert the AG-
220, an icon appears in the system tray (typically at
the bottom of the desktop). The AG-220 automatically
searches for any available network(s) and connects to a
wireless network without security enabled.
If the icon color is green and/or you see the following icon
on your desktop, you are already connected to a wireless
network.
To access the Internet, open your Internet browser and enter
the URL of a web site in the address bar.
If the icon color is red, you are not connected to a
wireless network. See the next section for details on
how to manually connect to a network.
Manual Network Connection
If your AG-220 does not automatically connect to a wireless
network, you can use the ZyXEL utility to connect manually.

Guide for more information.
Connect to a Wireless Network Using
WPS (Windows Vista)
You can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to add your
computer to a wireless network.
The AG-220 supports two WPS methods for creating a secure
connection:

10
ENGLISH
•Push Button Configuration (recommended) - create a
secure wireless network simply by clicking a button.
•PIN Configuration - create a secure wireless network by
entering the AG-220’s PIN (Personal Identification Number)
into the configuration screen of an Access Point (AP).
Push Button Configuration
1Make sure that your wireless AP (Access Point) is turned
on and that it is within range of your computer.
2In the Adapter screen, select WPS (Wi-Fi Protected
Setup) and PBC (Push Button Configuration).
3Click Start.
4Press the WPS button on your wireless AP (ZyXEL’s
NWA570N is shown as an example). It doesn’t matter

ENGLISH
11
which button is pressed first. You must press the second
button within two minutes of pressing the first one.
5The AP and the AG-220 establish a secure connection.
This can take up to two minutes.
6You are now ready to connect to the Internet wirelessly
through your AG-220.
Congratulations - you have finished!
WPS PIN Configuration
This section shows you how to use the WPS PIN method to
connect to an AP.
Do this only if you did not use the push-button WPS method.
1In the WPS section of the Adapter screen, select WPS
and PIN. Write down the 8-digit PIN that is displayed in
WPS
Internet
AP
AG-220

ENGLISH
the grayed-out text field. You will need to enter this PIN in
the WPS screen of the AP.
2Launch your AP’s configuration utility, go to the screen
where you can configure the WPS settings and enter the
AG-220’s PIN (an example screen from ZyXEL’s
NWA570N is shown).
3Click Start in the AG-220 Adapter screen and Apply or
Start in the AP’s WPS screen within two minutes.
The AP authenticates the AG-220 and sends the proper
configuration settings to the AG-220. This may take up to two
minutes. The AG-220 is now able to communicate with the AP
securely.
Congratulations - you have finished!
Note for Windows XP Users
If you want to use WZC, either disable the ZyXEL utility (if you
already installed it) or just install the driver.
