Common Setup

Network Name 
(SSID)

The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which a wireless device 
is associated. Wireless devices 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.

Hide SSID

Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station 
cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.
