DESCRIPTION
802.11 Mode
For 2.4 GHz frequency WLAN devices:
•
Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to associate with
the Zyxel Device.
•
Select 802.11g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with
the Zyxel Device.
•
Select 802.11n Only to allow only IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with
the Zyxel Device.
•
Select 802.11b/g Mixed to allow either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the Zyxel Device. The transmission rate of your Zyxel Device might
be reduced.
•
Select 802.11b/g/n Mixed to allow IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g or IEEE802.11n compliant
WLAN devices to associate with the Zyxel Device. The transmission rate of your Zyxel Device
might be reduced.
For 5 GHz frequency WLAN devices:
•
Select 802.11a Only to allow only IEEE 802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate with
the Zyxel Device.
•
Select 802.11n Only to allow only IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with
the Zyxel Device.
•
Select 802.11ac Only to allow only IEEE 802.11ac compliant WLAN devices to associate with
the Zyxel Device.
•
Select 802.11a/n Mixed to allow either IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices
to associate with the Zyxel Device. The transmission rate of your Zyxel Device might be
reduced.
•
Select 802.11n/ac Mixed to allow either IEEE 802.11n or IEEE 802.11ac compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the Zyxel Device. The transmission rate of your Zyxel Device might
be reduced.
•
Select 802.11a/n/ac Mixed to allow IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11n or IEEE802.11ac compliant
WLAN devices to associate with the Zyxel Device. The transmission rate of your Zyxel Device
might be reduced.
802.11 Protection
Enabling this feature can help prevent collisions in mixed-mode networks (networks with both
IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g traffic).
Select Auto to have the wireless devices transmit data after a RTS/CTS handshake. This helps
improve IEEE 802.11g performance.
Select Off to disable 802.11 protection. The transmission rate of your Zyxel Device might be
reduced in a mixed-mode network.
This field displays Off and is not configurable when you set 802.11 Mode to 802.11b Only.
Preamble
Select a preamble type from the drop-down list box. Choices are Long or Short. See
7.11.7 on page 170
This field is configurable only when you set 802.11 Mode to 802.11b.
Protected
This option is only available when using WPA2 as the Security Mode and AES Encryption in
Management
Network Setting > Wireless > General. Management frame protection (MFP) helps prevent
Frames
wireless DoS attacks.
Select Disable if you don't want to use MFP.
Select Capable to encrypt management frames of wireless clients that support MFP. Clients
that do not support MFP will still be allowed to join the wireless network, but remain
unprotected.
Select Required to allow only clients that support MFP to join the wireless network.
Cancel
Click Cancel to restore your previously saved settings.
