7.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
This chapter describes the ZyXEL Device’s
Network > Wireless LAN
screens. Use these
screens to set up your ZyXEL Device’s wireless connection.
• The
General
screen lets you turn the wireless connection on or off, set up wireless
security and make other basic configuration changes (
).
• Use the
WPS
screen and the
WPS Station
screen to use WiFi Protected Setup (WPS).
WPS lets you set up a secure network quickly, when connecting to other WPS-enabled
devices.
Use the
WPS
screen (see
) to enable or disable WPS, generate a
security PIN (Personal Identification Number) and see information about the ZyXEL
Device’s WPS status.
Use the
WPS Station
screen to set up WPS by pressing a
button or using a PIN.
• The
MAC Filter
screen lets you configure the MAC filter to allow or block access to the
ZyXEL Device based on the MAC addresses of the wireless stations (
).
• The
Advanced Setup
screen lets you change the wireless mode, and make other advanced
wireless configuration changes (
).
You don’t necessarily need to use all these screens to set up your wireless connection. For
example, you may just want to set up a network name, a wireless radio channel and some
security in the
General
screen.
