NBG410W3G Series User’s Guide

Configure wireless network security by configuring and applying an SSID profile. You can 
configure multiple profiles but you can only apply one to your network. 
Use the Wireless Card screen to see information about the SSID profiles on the ZyXEL 
Device, and use the Wireless Card > Edit screen to configure the SSID profiles.
Each SSID profile references the settings configured in the following screens:

• WIRELESS > Wi-Fi> Security (one of the security profiles).
• AUTH SERVER > RADIUS (the RADIUS server settings).
• WIRELESS > Wi-Fi > MAC Filter (the MAC filter list, if activated in the SSID profile).

Configure the fields in the above screens to use the settings in an SSID profile. 
In the Wireless Card screen, click the edit icon next to an SSID profile to display the 
following screen.

Select SSID 

Profile

An SSID profile is the set of parameters relating to one of the ZyXEL Device’s BSSs. 

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

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

same SSID. 

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.
