Chapter 7 Wireless
DESCRIPTION
Select whether the Zyxel Device uses a wireless channel width of 20MHz, 40MHz or 80MHz.
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.
This is available for some regions when you select a specific channel and set the Bandwidth field
to 40MHz. Set whether the control channel (set in the Channel field) should be in the Lower or
Upper range of channel bands.
The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which a wireless device is associated.
Wireless devices associating to the access point (AP) must have the same SSID.
Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 English keyboard characters) for the wireless LAN.
Specify the maximum number of clients that can connect to this network at the same time.
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 > Wireless > WPS
screen.
Select this check box to allow the Zyxel Device to convert wireless multicast traffic into wireless
unicast traffic.
Max. Upstream Bandwidth allows you to specify the maximum rate for upstream wireless traffic
to the WAN from this WLAN in kilobits per second (Kbps).
Max. Upstream Bandwidth allows you to specify the maximum rate for downstream wireless
traffic to this WLAN from the WAN in kilobits per second (Kbps).
This shows the MAC address of the wireless interface on the Zyxel Device when wireless LAN is
enabled.
Select More Secure (WPA(2)-PSK) to add security on this wireless network. The wireless clients
which want to associate to this network must have same wireless security settings as the Zyxel
Device. When you select to use a security, additional options appears in this screen.
Or you can select No Security to allow any client to associate this network without any data
encryption or authentication.
See the following sections for more details about this field.
