Before You Begin; Wireless General Screen - ZyXEL Communications AMG1312-T10D User Manual

Since the available unlicensed spectrum varies from one country to another, the number of
available channels also varies.

6.1.3 Before You Begin

Before you start using these screens, ask yourself the following questions. See
page 69 if some of the terms used here do not make sense to you.
• What wireless standards do the other wireless devices support (IEEE 802.11g, for example)?
What is the most appropriate standard to use?
• What security options do the other wireless devices support (WPA2-PSK, for example)? What is
the best one to use?
• Do the other wireless devices support WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)? If so, you can set up a well-
secured network very easily.
Even if some of your devices support WPS and some do not, you can use WPS to set up your
network and then add the non-WPS devices manually, although this is somewhat more
complicated to do.
• What advanced options do you want to configure, if any? If you want to configure advanced
options, ensure that you know precisely what you want to do. If you do not want to configure
advanced options, leave them alone.

settings of your computer to match the Device's new settings.
