6.1.3  Before You Begin
Before you start using these screens, ask yourself the following questions. See 
 if some of the terms used here do not make sense to you.
• What wireless standards do the other wireless devices support (IEEE 802.11g, for example)? 
What is the most appropriate standard to use?
• What security options do the other wireless devices support (WPA-PSK, for example)? What is 
the best one to use?
• Do the other wireless devices support WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)? If so, you can set up a well-
secured network very easily. 
Even if some of your devices support WPS and some do not, you can use WPS to set up your 
network and then add the non-WPS devices manually, although this is somewhat more 
complicated to do.
• What advanced options do you want to configure, if any? If you want to configure advanced 
options, ensure that you know precisely what you want to do. If you do not want to configure 
advanced options, leave them alone.
6.2  The Wireless General Screen 
Use this screen to enable the Wireless LAN, enter the SSID and select the wireless security mode.
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.
Click Network Setting > Wireless to open the General screen.
