CHAPTER 7 Wireless 7.1 Overview This chapter describes the VMG's Network Setting > Wireless screens. Use these screens to set up your VMG's wireless connection. 7.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter This section describes the VMG's Wireless screens. Use these screens to set up your VMG's wireless connection. • Use the General screen to enable the Wireless LAN, enter the SSID and select the wireless security mode (Section 7.2 on page 85). • Use the Guest / More AP screen to set up multiple wireless networks on your VMG (Section 7.3 on page 89). • Use the WPS screen to enable or disable WPS, view or generate a security PIN (Personal Identification Number) (Section 7.4 on page 92). • Use the WMM screen to enable Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM) to ensure quality of service in wireless networks for multimedia applications (Section 7.5 on page 94). • Use the WDS screen to set up a Wireless Distribution System, in which the VMG acts as a bridge with other ZyXEL access points (Section 7.6 on page 95). • Use the Others screen to configure wireless advanced features, such as the RTS/CTS Threshold (Section 7.7 on page 97). • Use the Channel Status screen to scan wireless LAN channel noises and view the results (Section 7.8 on page 98). 7.1.2 What You Need to Know Wireless Basics "Wireless" is essentially radio communication. In the same way that walkie-talkie radios send and receive information over the airwowaves, 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.
