Chapter 7 Wireless LAN • Use the General screen (see Section 7.2 on page 107) to turn the wireless connection on or off, create multiple SSIDs and make other configuration changes. • Use the Security screens (see Section 7.3 on page 110) to set up wireless security. • Use the QoS screen (see Section 7.4 on page 116) to enable or disable wireless quality of service. • 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 Section 7.5 on page 117) 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 (see Section 7.6 on page 119) screen to set up WPS by pressing a button or using a PIN. • Use the Scheduling screen (see Section 7.7 on page 120) to schedule a time period for the wireless LAN to operate each day. • Use the Association List screen (see Section 7.8 on page 121) to view wireless stations that are currently associated with the ZyXEL Device. 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 AP screen. 7.1.2 What You Need to Know The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter. Wireless Basics "Wireless" is essentially radio communication. In the same way that walkie-talkie radios send and receive information over the airwaves, wireless networking devices exchange information with one another. A wireless networking device is just like a radio that lets your computer exchange information with radios attached to other computers. Like walkie-talkies, most wireless networking devices operate at radio frequency bands that are open to the public and do not require a license to use. However, wireless networking is different from that of most traditional radio communications in that there a number of wireless networking standards available with different methods of data encryption. Wireless Network Construction Wireless networks consist of wireless clients, access points and bridges. • A wireless client is a radio connected to a user's computer. 104 FSG2200HNU User's Guide
