1.1.2 Wireless Network

By default, the integrated wireless feature is enabled on the ZyXEL Device that allows you to
set up a wireless network in your home or small office. Once connected, wireless clients can
access network resources (such Internet access, printers or servers).

You can also configure firewall on the ZyXEL Device for secure Internet access. When the
firewall is on, all incoming traffic from the Internet to your network is blocked unless it is
initiated from your network. This means that probes from the outside to your network are not
allowed, but you can safely browse the Internet and download files for example.
Use web filters to block access to web site addresses that you specify. You can define time
periods and days during which web filters are enabled and include or exclude particular
computers on your network from content filtering. For example, you could block access to
certain web sites for the kids.
