Network Name 

(SSID)

(Service Set IDentity) The SSID identifies the Service Set with which a wireless client 

is associated. Wireless clients associating to the access point (AP) must have the 

same SSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII characters) for 

the wireless LAN. 

Note: If you are configuring the ZyXEL Device from a computer 

connected to the wireless LAN and you change the ZyXEL 
Device’s SSID or security settings, you will lose your wireless 
connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must then 
change the wireless settings of your computer to match the 
ZyXEL Device’s new settings.
