Network Name (SSID)
The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which a wireless
device is associated. 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 security 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.

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.
