•Use the General screen to enable the Wireless LAN, enter the SSID and select
the wireless security mode (Section 6.2 on page 113).
•Use the More AP screen to set up multiple wireless networks on your ZyXEL
Device (Section 6.3 on page 121).
•Use the WPS screen to enable or disable WPS, view or generate a security PIN
(Personal Identification Number) (Section 6.4 on page 123).
•Use the WMM screen to enable Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM) to ensure quality of
service in wireless networks for multimedia applications (Section 6.5 on page

•Use the Scheduling screen to schedule a time period for the wireless LAN to

You don’t necessarily need to use all these screens to set up your wireless

radio channel and some security in the General screen.
