Find firmware at www.zyxel.com in a file that (usually) uses the system model name with a
"*.bin" extension, for example "NWA-3160.bin". The upload process uses HTTP (Hypertext
Transfer Protocol) and may take up to two minutes. After a successful upload, the system will
reboot. See the Firmware and Configuration File Maintenance chapter for upgrading firmware
using FTP/TFTP commands.
Click MAINTENANCE > F/W Upload. Follow the instructions in this screen to upload

DESCRIPTION
This is the Service Set IDentification name of the AP in an Infrastructure
wireless network or wireless station in an Ad-Hoc wireless network. For our
purposes, we define an Infrastructure network as a wireless network that uses
an AP and an Ad-Hoc network (also known as Independent Basic Service Set
(IBSS)) as one that doesn't. See the chapter on wireless configuration for more
information on basic service sets (BSS) and extended service sets (ESS).
This field displays the MAC address of the AP in an Infrastructure wireless
network. It is randomly generated (so ignore it) in an Ad-Hoc wireless network.
This is the index number of the channel currently used by the associated AP in
an Infrastructure wireless network or wireless station in an Ad-Hoc wireless
network.
This field displays the strength of the AP's signal. If you must choose a channel
that's currently in use, choose one with low signal strength for minimum
interference.
"Network mode" in this screen refers to your wireless LAN infrastructure (refer
to the Wireless LAN chapter) and security setup.
