Wireless LAN
This chapter discusses how to configure wireless LAN on the ZyWALL.

communicating in a peer-to-peer network or as complex as a number of computers with
wireless LAN adapters communicating through access points which bridge network traffic to
the wired LAN. To add a wireless network to the ZyWALL, you can connect an Access Point
to a port in the WLAN role.
