(AP, Wireless Client, Bridge or AP+Bridge). You can change the
operating mode in the Wireless > Wireless Settings screen.

also shows the date the firmware version was created. You can change the
firmware version by uploading new firmware in Maintenance > F/W

network.
Subnet masks determine the maximum number of possible hosts on a
network. You can also use subnet masks to divide one network into
multiple sub-networks.
This is the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is a router or switch on
the same network segment as the device's LAN port. The gateway helps
forward packets to their destinations.
This field displays the SSID (Service Set Identifier).
The channel or frequency used by the ZyXEL Device to send and receive

This field displays the elapsed time since the ZyXEL Device was turned on.
This field displays what percentage of the ZyXEL Device's processing
ability is currently being used. The higher the CPU usage, the more likely
the ZyXEL Device is to slow down.
This field displays what percentage of the ZyXEL Device's volatile memory
is currently in use. The higher the memory usage, the more likely the
ZyXEL Device is to slow down. Some memory is required just to start the
ZyXEL Device and to run the web configurator.
This column displays each interface of the ZyXEL Device.
This field indicates whether or not the ZyXEL Device is using the interface.
For each interface, this field displays Up when the ZyXEL Device is using
the interface and Down when the ZyXEL Device is not using the interface.
