Chapter 8 Tutorials 7 Check the status of your wireless connection in the screen below. 8 If the wireless client keeps trying to connect to or acquiring an IP address from the NBG6616, make sure you entered the correct security key. If the connection has limited or no connectivity, make sure the DHCP server is enabled on the NBG6616. If your connection is successful, open your Internet browser and enter http://www.zyxel.com or the URL of any other web site in the address bar. If you are able to access the web site, your wireless connection is successfully configured. 8.4 Using Multiple SSIDs on the NBG6616 You can configure more than one SSID on a NBG6616. See Section 11.4 on page 97. This allows you to configure multiple independent wireless networks on the NBG6616 as if there were multiple APs (virtual APs). Each virtual AP has its own SSID, wireless security type and MAC filtering settings. That is, each SSID on the NBG6616 represents a different access point/wireless network to wireless clients in the network. Clients can associate only with the SSIDs for which they have the correct security settings. Clients using different SSIDs can access the Internet and the wired network behind the NBG6616 (such as a printer). NBG6616 User's Guide 62

8.4

Using Multiple SSIDs on the NBG6616

You can configure more than one SSID on a NBG6616. See

Section 11.4 on page 97

This allows you to configure multiple independent wireless networks on the NBG6616 as if there

were multiple APs (virtual APs). Each virtual AP has its own SSID, wireless security type and MAC

filtering settings. That is, each SSID on the NBG6616 represents a different access point/wireless

network to wireless clients in the network.

Clients can associate only with the SSIDs for which they have the correct security settings. Clients

using different SSIDs can access the Internet and the wired network behind the NBG6616 (such as

a printer).
