1.1 Overview

al

t

This chapter introduces the main features and applications of th NBG4115.

The NBG4115 extends the range of your existing wired network without additional

wiring, providing easy network access to mobile users. You can set up a wireless

network with other IEEE 802.11b/g/n compatible dev ces.

A range of services such as a firewall and co

i

te t iltering are also available for

den

secure Internet computing.

f

1.2

Applications

on

Your can create the following networks using the NBG4115:

• Wired. You can connect network devices via the Ethernet ports of the NBG4115

C

so that they can communicate with each other and access the Internet.

• Wireless. Wireless clie ts can connect to the NBG4115 to access network

resources.

y

• WAN. Co

ect to a broadband modem/router for Internet access.

• WPS. Cre

te n instant network connection with another WPS-compatabile

device, sh

ring your network connection with it.

• 3G Wireless. Connect to a local 3G wireless network to take advantage of

su erior connection speeds and improved download times.

1.3 Ways to Manage the NBG4115

		Use any of the following methods to manage the NBG4115.
		• WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). You can use the WPS button or the WPS section of
		the Web Configurator to set up a wireless network with your ZyXEL Device.
		• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of he
		NBG4115 using a (supported) web browser.						i
									al
							t
	1.4 Good Habits for Managing the NBG4115
		Do the following things regularly to make the NBG4115 mor s cur and to
		manage the NBG4115 more effectively.
		• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists
		of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
					i
		• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.				den
					f
		• Back up the configuration (and make sure y u k ow how to restore it).
		Restoring an earlier working configurati			may be useful if the device becomes
		unstable or even crashes. If you f rget y			ur password, you will have to reset the
		NBG4115 to its factory default settings. If y u backed up an earlier
		configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the NBG4115. You
		could simply restore your last configuration.

			The WPS Button
					i
	2.1 Overview					al
					t
		Your NBG4115 supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which is a asy way to set
		up a secure wireless network. WPS is an industry standard sp cification, defined
		by the WiFi Alliance.
		WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network w th strong security, without
		having to configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works
		between two devices. Both devices must support WPS (check each device’s
			i
		documentation to make sure).		den
			f
		Depending on the devices you have, y u ca either press a button (on the device
		itself, or in its configuration utility) r enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification
		Number that allows one device to authenticate the other) in each of the two
		devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two minutes to find another
		device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set up a
		secure network by themselves.	on
		For more information on usingCWPS, see Section 6.4 on page 68.
