Network 

Name(SSID)

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

station is associated. Wireless stations 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 WEP 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.
