Use this screen to configure WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) on your VMG.

WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to

configure security settings manually. Set up each WPS connection between two devices. Both

devices must support WPS. See

Section 7.9.9.3 on page 113

for more information about WPS.

Note: The VMG applies the security settings of the

SSID1

profile (see

Section 7.2 on

page 90

). If you want to use the WPS feature, make sure you have set the security

mode of

SSID1

to

WPA2-PSK

or

Select

On

to have the VMG automatically give the wireless network (SSIDx) a priority level

according to the ToS value in the IP header of packets it sends. WMM QoS (Wifi MultiMedia

Delivery(APSD)

Select this option to extend the battery life of your mobile devices (especially useful for

small devices that are running multimedia applications). The VMG goes to sleep mode to

save power when it is not transmitting data. The AP buffers the packets sent to the VMG

until the VMG "wakes up". The VMG wakes up periodically to check for incoming data.

Note: This works only if the wireless device to which the VMG is connected also supports this

feature.

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 VMG 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 VMG 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.

Note: WDS security is independent of the security settings between the VMG and any

wireless clients.

Note: 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 Setting > Wireless > WDS
