Wep Encryption; Traffic Redirect - ZyXEL Communications Prestige 660W Series User Manual

Prestige 660W/HW Series User's Guide
IEEE 802.11g 11 Mbps Wireless LAN
IEEE 802.11g is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b standard. This means an IEEE 802.11b radio card
can interface directly with an IEEE 802.11g access point (and vice versa) at 11 Mbps or lower depending on
range. IEEE 802.11g has several intermediate rate steps between the maximum and minimum data rates. The
IEEE 802.11g data rate and modulation are as follows:
DATA RATE (MBPS)
1
2
5.5 / 11
6/9/12/18/24/36/48/54
The Prestige may be prone to RF (Radio Frequency) interference from other 2.4
GHz devices such as microwave ovens, wireless phones, Bluetooth enabled
Wireless LAN MAC Address Filtering
Your Prestige can check the MAC addresses of wireless stations against a list of allowed or denied MAC
addresses.

WEP Encryption

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting over the wireless network to help
keep network communications private.
Wi-Fi Protected Access
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i security specification draft. Key differences
between WPA and WEP are user authentication and improved data encryption.

Traffic Redirect

Traffic redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway when the Prestige cannot connect to the Internet,
thus acting as an auxiliary if your regular WAN connection fails.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Using the standard TCP/IP protocol, the Prestige and other UPnP enabled devices can dynamically join a
network, obtain an IP address and convey its capabilities to other devices on the network.
