Pure B Mode to set the ZyXEL Device to operate in a wireless network with
only 802.11b wireless devices. If you select this, the ZyXEL Device may not
communicate with IEEE802.11g wireless devices
Select
Pure G Mode to set the ZyXEL Device to operate in a wireless network with
only 802.11g wireless devices. If you select this, the ZyXEL Device may not

Clone MAC
Address
Every Ethernet-capable device is issued with a unique Media Access Control
(MAC) address at the factory. This address is used to identify the device across a
network.
Your ZyXEL Device is capable of “cloning”, or emulating, the MAC addresses of
one or more other devices.
Select
Auto-Single to have the ZyXEL Device automatically use the MAC address
of a single Ethernet device connected to the ETHERNET port.
Select
Auto-Multi to have the ZyXEL Device automatically use the MAC
addresses of multiple Ethernet devices connected to the ETHERNET port via a
hub.
Alternatively, enter a MAC address into the
Clone MAC address field and select
Manual to have the ZyXEL Device use that address.
Advanced Settings
Radio Enable Select Yes to allow wireless communications between the device and other IEEE
802.11b and IEEE 802.11g compliant wireless devices. Select No to stop wireless
communications between the device and other IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g
compliant wireless devices.
