LABEL DESCRIPTION
Wireless
Wireless Select Keep the same settings for 2.4G and 5G wireless networks and the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
wireless networks will use the same SSID and wireless security settings.
Wireless Network Setup
Band This shows the wireless band which this radio profile is using. 2.4GHz is the frequency used by IEEE
802.11b/g/n/ax wireless clients while 5GHz is used by IEEE 802.11a/n/ac/ax wireless clients.
Wireless Click this switch to enable or disable WiFi in this field. When the switch turns blue
function is enabled. Otherwise, it is not.
Channel Select a channel from the drop-down list box. The options vary depending on the frequency
band and the country you are in.
Use Auto to have the Zyxel Device automatically determine a channel to use.
Bandwidth Select whether the Zyxel Device uses a wireless channel width of 20MHz, 40MHz, 20/40MHz or 20/
40/80MHz.
Note: 20/40/80MHz is only available if you select the 5GHz Band.
A standard 20 MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150 Mbps whereas a 40 MHz channel
uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300 Mbps.
40 MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase
throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40 MHz. It is often better to use the 20 MHz
setting in a location where the environment hinders the wireless signal.
An 80 MHz channel groups adjacent 40 MHz channels into pairs to increase bandwidth even
higher.
Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your
neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding.
Because not all devices support 40 MHz channels, select 20/40MHz or 20/40/80MHz to allow the
Zyxel Device to adjust the channel bandwidth
Control This is available for some regions when you select a specific channel and set the Bandwidth field
Sideband to 40MHz or 20/40MHz. Set whether the control channel (set in the Channel field) should be in
the Lower or Upper range of channel bands.
Wireless Network Settings
Wireless The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which a wireless device is associated.
Network Name Wireless devices associating to the access point (AP) must have the same SSID.
Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 English keyboard characters) for WiFi.
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 Setting > Wireless >
WPS screen.
Blocking BSSID Select this check box so that the wireless client's access to all devices on the LAN will be
LAN Access blocked.
Multicast Select this check box to allow the Zyxel Device to convert wireless multicast traffic into wireless
Forwarding unicast traffic.
Max. Upstream Max. Upstream Bandwidth allows you to specify the maximum rate for upstream wireless traffic
Bandwidth to the WAN from this wireless LAN in kilobits per second (Kbps).
