ZyXEL Communications N220 Manual De Usuario

Chapter 5 AP Mode

N220 User’s Guide

When you configure the N220 to act as an AP and wireless security is activated, 
the Configuration screen varies according to the encryption method used by 
your network.

This option indicates that no security services are enabled. Anyone within range of 
your AP can connect to it without having to enter a pre-shared key. 

Note: When security settings are disabled in AP Mode and if you have a shared 

Internet connection via the Bridge feature (see 

) or any shared folders 

on the computer that is hosting the AP, they will be available to anyone who is 
connected. 

Configure WEP security with these options.
