LAN

The wireless LAN is turned off by default, before you enable the wireless LAN you 

should configure some security by setting MAC filters and/or 802.1x security; 

otherwise your wireless LAN will be vulnerable upon enabling it. Select the check 

box to enable the wireless LAN.

Enable 802.11g+ Select this check box to allow the Prestige to communicate with any ZyXEL WLAN 

devices (that support this feature) at a higher transmission rate than the IEEE 

802.11g standard.

ESSID

The ESSID (Extended Service Set Identification) is a unique name to identify the 

Prestige in the wireless LAN. Wireless stations associating to the Prestige must 

have the same ESSID. 
Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 characters).

Hide ESSID

Select Yes to hide the ESSID in so a station cannot obtain the ESSID through 

passive scanning. 
Select No to make the ESSID visible so a station can obtain the ESSID through 

passive scanning. 

Channel ID 

The radio frequency used by IEEE 802.11b wireless devices is called a channel. 
Select a channel from the drop-down list box.
