The following table describes the fields in this screen.
SSID
An SSID profile is the set of parameters relating to one of the ZyXEL Device’s
BSSs. The SSID (Service Set IDentifier) identifies the Service Set with which a
wireless device is associated.
This field displays the name of the wireless profile on the network. When a wireless
client scans for an AP to associate with, this is the name that is broadcast and seen
in the wireless client utility.
Security
This field indicates the security mode of the SSID profile.

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.
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.
Security Mode
See
Section 7.2 on page 107
for more details about this field.
MAC Filter
This shows whether the wireless devices with the MAC addresses listed are
allowed or denied to access the ZyXEL Device using this SSID.

The WDS Screen
An AP using the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) can function as a wireless network
bridge allowing you to wirelessly connect two wired network segments. The
WDS
screen
allows you to configure the ZyXEL Device to connect to two or more APs wirelessly when
WDS is enabled.
Use this screen to set up your WDS (Wireless Distribution System) links between the ZyXEL
Device and other wireless APs. You need to know the MAC address of the peer device. Once
the security settings of peer sides match one another, the connection between devices is made.
"
WDS security is independent of the security settings between the ZyXEL
Device and any wireless clients.
"
At the time of writing, WDS is compatible with other ZyXEL APs only. Not all
models support WDS links. Check your other AP’s documentation.
Click
Network > Wireless LAN > WDS

The QoS Screen
You can turn on Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM) QoS to improve the performance of voice and
video applications in the wireless network. QoS gives high priority to voice and video, which
makes them run more smoothly. Similarly, it gives low priority to many large file downloads
so that they do not reduce the quality of other applications.

Security
Select this option and the type of the key used to encrypt data between APs. All the
wireless APs (including the ZyXEL Device) must use the same pre-shared key for
data transmission.
If you de-select this option, the data sent between APs is not encrypted. Anyone
can read it.

MAC Address
Type the MAC address of the peer device in a valid MAC address format (six
hexadecimal character pairs, for example 12:34:56:78:9a:bc).
WEP Key
Enter any 5 or 13 characters (ASCII string) or 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-
