Select No Security to allow wireless clients to communicate with the access points without 
any data encryption. 

"

If you do not enable any wireless security on your ZyXEL Device, your network 
is accessible to any wireless networking device that is within range.

Network Name 

(SSID)

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

is associated. Wireless clients 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.

address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of 

hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. You need to know the
