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).

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.
