4 Configuring the Wireless Network

Connection

If a wireless network adapter is installed on your computer, you can connect your

computer to the HG256 through a wireless connection.

There are two methods to configure the wireless network connection to enable the

Wi-Fi function of the HG256:

4.1 Setting Up a Wireless Connection Manually

To configure the wireless network connection through the web page, do as follows:

Step 1 Record the WLAN name and the WLAN access password.

The WLAN name (SSID) and WLAN access password of the HG256 are preset

before delivery. You can find them from the label on the rear panel of the HG256 or

consult the Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Step 2 Configure the wireless network connection on your computer (taking the

Windows XP operating system as an example):

1. Choose Start > All Programs > Accessories > Communications >

Network Connections.

2. In the Network Connections window, right-click Wireless Network

Connection to display a shortcut menu, and then select View Available

Wireless Networks from the shortcut menu.

3. Select the wireless network that is configured in Step 1 from the wireless

network list, and then click Connect in the lower right corner of the

window.

4. In the displayed dialog box, enter the access password that is preset in

Step 1, and then click Connect.

After the password is verified, Connected appears on the icon of the wireless network

in the wireless network list, which indicates that your computer is connected to the

HG256 through wireless connection.

4.2 Setting Up a Wireless Connection by the WPS button

If the wireless network adapter on your computer can support the WPS function, you

can connect your computer to the HG256 wirelessly as follows:

Step 1 Press the WPS button of the HG256 to enable the HG256 to enter the WPS

negotiation state. The WLAN indicator of the HG256 blinks.

The WiFi function is enabled by default and the WLAN indicator is on, so you do not

need to press the WLAN button.

Step 2 Enable the WPS negotiation function of the wireless network adapter on your

PC within two minutes, and then wait for a moment (typically 10s and at most

120s).

The WPS indicator of the HG256 becomes on from the blinking state, indicating that

the HG256 is connected to your PC through the WLAN.

For more information about the functions and the configuration of the HG256, see

the User Guide contained in the CD-ROM.
