To configure advanced wireless settings, click the Advanced Setup button in the General 
screen. The screen appears as shown.

Idle Timeout

The ZyXEL Device automatically disconnects a wireless station from the wired 

network after a period of inactivity. The wireless station needs to enter the 

username and password again before access to the wired network is allowed. 

The default time interval is 3600 seconds (or 1 hour).

Group Key Update 

Timer

The WPA Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA-

PSK key management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA key management) 

sends a new group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA 

equivalent of automatically changing the WEP key for an AP and all stations in a 

WLAN on a periodic basis. Setting of the WPA Group Key Update Timer is also 

supported in WPA-PSK mode. The ZyXEL Device default is 1800 seconds (30 

minutes).

Device. The key is not sent over the network. 

Accounting Server (optional)
