Chapter 7 Wireless The following table describes the general WiFi labels in this screen. Table 19 Network Setting > Wireless > General LABEL DESCRIPTION Wireless Wireless Select Keep the same settings for 2.4G and 5G wireless networks and the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless networks will use the same SSID and wireless security settings. Wireless Network Setup Band This shows the wireless band which this radio profile is using. 2.4GHz is the frequency used by IEEE 802.11b/g/n/ax wireless clients while 5GHz is used by IEEE 802.11a/n/ac/ax wireless clients. Wireless Click this switch to enable or disable WiFi in this field. When the switch turns blue function is enabled. Otherwise, it is not. , the Channel Select a channel from the drop-down list box. The options vary depending on the frequency band and the country you are in. Bandwidth Use Auto to have the Zyxel Device automatically determine a channel to use. Select whether the Zyxel Device uses a wireless channel width of 20MHz, 40MHz, 20MHz/40MHz, 20MHz/40MHz/80MHz or 20MHz/40MHz/80MHz/160MHz. A standard 20 MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150 Mbps whereas a 40 MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300 Mbps. 40 MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40 MHz. It is often better to use the 20 MHz setting in a location where the environment hinders the wireless signal. An 80 MHz channel groups adjacent 40 MHz channels into pairs to increase bandwidth even higher. Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding. Because not all devices support 40 MHz and/or 160 MHz channels, select 20/40MHz or 20MHz/ 40MHz/80MHz/160MHz to allow the Zyxel Device to adjust the channel bandwidth automatically. Control Sideband This is available for some regions when you select a specific channel and set the Bandwidth field to 40MHz or 20MHz/40MHz. Set whether the control channel (set in the Channel field) should be in the Lower or Upper range of channel bands. Wireless Network Settings Wireless The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which a wireless device is associated. Network Name Wireless devices associating to the access point (AP) must have the same SSID. Max Clients Hide SSID Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 English keyboard characters) for WiFi. Specify the maximum number of clients that can connect to this network at the same time. Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool. Multicast Forwarding Max. Upstream Bandwidth Max. Downstream Bandwidth BSSID Security Level This check box is grayed out if the WPS function is enabled in the Network Setting > Wireless > WPS screen. Select this check box to allow the Zyxel Device to convert wireless multicast traffic into wireless unicast traffic. Max. Upstream Bandwidth allows you to specify the maximum rate for upstream wireless traffic to the WAN from this wireless LAN in kilobits per second (Kbps). Max. Upstream Bandwidth allows you to specify the maximum rate for downstream wireless traffic to this wireless LAN from the WAN in kilobits per second (Kbps). This shows the MAC address of the wireless interface on the Zyxel Device when WiFi is enabled. PX7511-B0 User's Guide 91

PX7511-B0 User’s Guide

The following table describes the general WiFi labels in this screen.

Table 19

Network Setting > Wireless > General

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Wireless

Select

Keep the same settings for 2.4G and 5G wireless networks

and the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz

wireless networks will use the same SSID and wireless security settings.

Wireless Network Setup

Band

This shows the wireless band which this radio profile is using.

2.4GHz

is the frequency used by IEEE

802.11b/g/n/ax wireless clients while

5GHz

is used by IEEE 802.11a/n/ac/ax wireless clients.

Wireless

Click this switch to enable

or disable WiFi in this field. When the switch turns blue

, the

function is enabled. Otherwise, it is not.

Channel

Select a channel from the drop-down list box. The options vary depending on the frequency

band and the country you are in.

Use

Auto

to have the Zyxel Device automatically determine a channel to use.

Bandwidth

Select whether the Zyxel Device uses a wireless channel width of

20MHz

40MHz, 20MHz/40MHz

20MHz/40MHz/80MHz

20MHz/40MHz/80MHz/160MHz

A standard 20 MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150 Mbps whereas a 40 MHz channel

uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300 Mbps.

40 MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase

throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40 MHz. It is often better to use the 20 MHz

setting in a location where the environment hinders the wireless signal.

An 80 MHz channel groups

adjacent 40 MHz channels into pairs to increase bandwidth even

higher.

Select

20MHz

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

neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding.

Because not all devices support 40 MHz and/or 160 MHz channels, select

20/40MHz

20MHz/

40MHz/80MHz/160MHz

to allow the Zyxel Device to adjust the channel bandwidth

automatically.

Control

Sideband

This is available for some regions when you select a specific channel and set the

Bandwidth

field

40MHz

20MHz/40MHz

. Set whether the control channel (set in the

Channel

field) should be

in the

Lower

Upper

range of channel bands.

Wireless Network Settings

Wireless

Network Name

The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which a wireless device is associated.

Wireless devices associating to the access point (AP) must have the same SSID.

Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 English keyboard characters) for WiFi.

Max Clients

Specify the maximum number of clients that can connect to this network at the same time.

Hide SSID

Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station cannot obtain

the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.

This check box is grayed out if the WPS function is enabled in the

Network Setting

Wireless

WPS

screen.

Multicast

Forwarding

Select this check box to allow the Zyxel Device to convert wireless multicast traffic into wireless

unicast traffic.

Max. Upstream

Bandwidth

Max. Upstream Bandwidth allows you to specify the maximum rate for upstream wireless traffic

to the WAN from this wireless LAN in kilobits per second (Kbps).

Max.

Downstream

Bandwidth

Max. Upstream Bandwidth allows you to specify the maximum rate for downstream wireless

traffic to this wireless LAN from the WAN in kilobits per second (Kbps).

BSSID

This shows the MAC address of the wireless interface on the Zyxel Device when WiFi is enabled.

Security Level
