Chapter 7 Wireless LAN may come from other radio transmissions, such as military or air traffic control communications, or from machines that are coincidental emitters such as electric motors or microwaves. Problems with absorption occur when physical objects (such as thick walls) are between the two radios, muffling the signal. 7.1.3 Before You Begin Before you start using these screens, ask yourself the following questions. See Section 7.1.2 on page 104 if some of the terms used here do not make sense to you. • What wireless standards do the other wireless devices support (IEEE 802.11g, for example)? What is the most appropriate standard to use? • What security options do the other wireless devices support (WPA-PSK, for example)? What is the best one to use? • Do the other wireless devices support WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)? If so, you can set up a well-secured network very easily. Even if some of your devices support WPS and some do not, you can use WPS to set up your network and then add the non-WPS devices manually, although this is somewhat more complicated to do. • What advanced options do you want to configure, if any? If you want to configure advanced options, ensure that you know precisely what you want to do. If you do not want to configure advanced options, leave them alone. 7.2 The Wireless LAN General Screen Use this screen to turn the wireless connection on or off, create multiple SSIDs and make other configuration changes. The ZyXEL Device can broadcast up to four wireless network names at the same time. This means that users can connect to the ZyXEL Device using different SSIDs. You can secure the connection on each SSID profile so that wireless clients connecting to the ZyXEL Device using different SSIDs cannot communicate with each other. Note: If you are configuring the ZyXEL Device from a computer connected to the wireless LAN and you change the ZyXEL Device's SSID or security settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must then change the wireless settings of your computer to match the ZyXEL Device's new settings. FSG2200HNU User's Guide 107
