Profile Name
Enter up to 31 alphanumeric characters to be used as this profile’s name. Spaces and
underscores are allowed.
802.11 Band
Select whether this radio will use the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or 6 GHz band.
802.11 Mode
Select how to let WiFi clients connect to the AP.
If
802.11 Band
is set to
2.4G
:
•
11b/g
: allows either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate
with the Zyxel Device. The Zyxel Device adjusts the transmission rate automatically
according to the WiFi standard supported by the wireless devices.
•
11n
: allows IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the Zyxel Device.
•
11ax
: allows IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g, IEEE802.11n, and IEEE802.11ax compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the Zyxel Device. If the WLAN device isn’t compatible with
802.11ax, the Zyxel Device will communicate with the WLAN device using 802.11n, and
so on.
If
802.11 Band
is set to
5G
:
•
11a
: allows only IEEE 802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate with the Zyxel
Device.
•
11n
: allows both IEEE802.11n and IEEE802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate
with the Zyxel Device.
•
11ac
: allows IEEE802.11n, IEEE802.11a, and IEEE802.11ac compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the Zyxel Device. If the WLAN device isn’t compatible with 802.11ac, the
Zyxel Device will communicate with the WLAN device using 802.11n, and so on.
•
11ax
: allows IEEE802.11n, IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11ac, and IEEE802.11ax compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the Zyxel Device. If the WLAN device isn’t compatible with
802.11ax, the Zyxel Device will communicate with the WLAN device using 802.11ac,
and so on.
If
802.11 Band
is set to
6G
:
•
11ax
: allows IEEE802.11ax compliant WLAN devices to associate with the Zyxel Device.
Channel Width
Select the channel bandwidth you want to use for your WiFi network.
Select
20MHz
if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your
neighborhood.
Select
20/40MHz
to allow the Zyxel Device to choose the channel bandwidth (20 or 40
MHz) that has least interference.
Select
20/40/80MHZ
to allow the Zyxel Device to choose the channel bandwidth (20 or 40
or 80) that has least interference. This option is available only when you select
11ac
or
11ax
in the
802.11 Mode
field.
Select
20/40/80/160MHz
to allow the Zyxel Device to choose the channel bandwidth (20 or
40 or 80 or 160 MHz) that has least interference. This option is available only when you set
802.11 Band
to
5G
/
6G
, and select
11ax
in the
802.11 Mode
field.
Note: If the environment has poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the Zyxel Device will
switch to a lower bandwidth.
