Chapter 13 AP Profile Table 55 Configuration > Object > AP Profile > Radio > Add/Edit Profile (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Profile Name 802.11 Band 802.11 Mode Enter up to 31 alphanumeric characters to be used as this profile's name. Spaces and underscores are allowed. Select whether this radio would use the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band. Select how to let wireless 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 wireless 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: Channel Width • 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. Select the channel bandwidth you want to use for your wireless network. Select 20 MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your neighborhood. Select 20/40 MHz to allow the Zyxel Device to choose the channel bandwidth (20 or 40 MHz) that has least interference. Select 20/40/80 MHz to allow the Zyxel Device to choose the channel bandwidth (20 or 40 or 80 MHz) that has least interference. This option is available only when you select 11ac or 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. Channel Selection Enable DCS Client Aware This is the radio channel which the signal will use for broadcasting by this radio profile. • DCS: Choose Dynamic Channel Selection to have the Zyxel Device choose a radio channel that has least interference. • Manual: Choose from the available radio channels in the list. If your Zyxel Device is outdoor type, be sure to choose non-indoors channels. Select this to have the Zyxel Device switch channels only when there are no clients connected to it. If there is a client connected, the Zyxel Device will not switch channels but generate a log. The Zyxel Device tries to scan and switch channels again at the end of the specified time interval or at the scheduled time. If you disable this then the Zyxel Device switches channels immediately regardless of any client connections. In this instance, clients that are connected to the Zyxel Device when it switches channels are dropped. Blacklist DFS channels in presence of radar This field is available if 802.11 Band is set to 5G and Channel Selection is set to DCS. Enable this to temporarily blacklist the wireless channels in the Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) range whenever a radar signal is detected by the Zyxel Device. NWA/WAC/WAX Series User's Guide 133

so on.

802.11 Band

is set to

•

11a

: allows only IEEE 802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate with the Zyxel

Channel Width

Select the channel bandwidth you want to use for your wireless network.

Select

20 MHz

if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your

neighborhood.

Select

20/40 MHz

to allow the Zyxel Device to choose the channel bandwidth (20 or 40

MHz) that has least interference.
