LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Name(SSID)
The Service Set IDentity (SSID) is the name of the wireless network. Every wireless
client in the same wireless network must use the same SSID. Enter this value as
indicated.
Channel
Selection
Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific
channel, or frequency, to send and receive information. If there are other wireless
networks in the area, select a channel at least five channels away from the other
wireless networks.
Security
Select the strongest level that all the computers in your wireless network support.
From weakest to strongest, the security levels are
•
•
None
•
Basic (WEP)
•
Auto or Extend (WPA-PSK). Select Auto if you want the ZyXEL Device to
generate a pre-shared key for your wireless network. Select Extend if you want
to set up a specific pre-shared key for your wireless network (for example, if your
wireless network already uses a specific pre-shared key).
•
Extend (WPA2-PSK)
If you want to use ZyXEL’s One-Touch Intelligent Security Technology (OTIST), you
can select any level except Extend(WPA2-PSK), but it is simpler to select Auto.
