7.2.1 No Security
Select No Security to allow wireless stations to communicate with the access points without any data
encryption or authentication.
Note: If you do not enable any WiFi security on your Zyxel Device, your network is accessible to
any wireless networking device that is within range.
Bandwidth Select whether the Zyxel Device uses a WiFi channel width of 20MHz, 40MHz or 20/40MHz.
A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40MHz channel
uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300Mbps.
40MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase
throughput. The WiFi clients must also support 40MHz. It is often better to use the 20MHz setting in
a location where the environment hinders the
WiFi signal.
Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other
WiFi devices in your
neighborhood or the
WiFi clients do not support channel bonding.
Control
Sideband
This is available for some regions when you select a specific channel and set the Bandwidth field
to 40MHz. Set whether the control channel (set in the Channel field) should be in the Lower or
Upper range of channel bands.
WiFi Network Settings
WiFi Network
Name
The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which a WiFi device is associated.
WiFi devices associating to the access point (AP) must have the same SSID.
Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 English keyboard characters) for the wireless LAN.
Max Clients Specify the maximum number of clients that can connect to this network at the same time.
Hide SSID Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station cannot obtain
the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.
This check box is grayed out if the WPS function is enabled in the Network > Wireless > WPS
screen.
Multicast
Forwarding
Select this check box to allow the Zyxel Device to convert wireless multicast traffic into wireless
unicast traffic.
Max. Upstream
Bandwidth
Specify the maximum rate for upstream wireless traffic to the WAN from this WLAN in kilobits per
second (Kbps).
Max.
Downstream
Bandwidth
Specify the maximum rate for downstream wireless traffic to this WLAN from the WAN in kilobits
per second (Kbps).
BSSID This shows the MAC address of the wireless interface on the Zyxel Device when wireless LAN is
enabled.
Security Level
Security Mode Select More Secure (WPA2-PSK) to add security on this WiFi network. The WiFi clients which want
to associate to this network must have the same
WiFi security settings as the Zyxel Device. When
you select to use a security, additional options appears in this screen.
Or you can select No Security to allow any client to associate with this network without any data
encryption or authentication.
