ZyXEL G-162/G-360 User’s Guide

a.[Profile] Default profile name is ZyXEL. You may also enter in a descriptive name for this profile.

b.[SSID Name] is depends on the AP/Router you connect to from Site Survey page.

c.[Network Mode] if connecting to an AP/Router, choose “Infrastructure”. If you are going to network one computer directly to another computer without an AP/Router, then choose “Ad Hoc”.

d.[Channel] is set default auto channel for the Infrastructure mode and default Ch6 for Ad-Hoc mode.

e.[Band] shows you 802.11b and 802.11g on the 2.4GHz.

f.[Security] will vary in appearance depending on whether any encryption was detected with your AP/Router. Select the appropriate security information.

g.Click [OK]. Your setting will be saved and apply.

2.1) Security Setting is on your right and the screen will vary in appearance depending on whether any encryption was detected with your AP/Router. Please enter in the appropriate security information.

[Security] shows you different types of security modes.

a.Disable

It represents no security. All data sent between the AP and the client is left unencrypted and may be viewed by other wireless devices.

b.WEP

Wired Equivalent Privacy – Encrypts all traffic sent between the AP and the client using a shared key. When using WEP encryption (available in 64, 128, or 256-bit3), only those APs and PCs using the same WEP Key are allowed to communicate with each other.

c.WPA-PSK

WPA-PSK is designed for home users. Like WEP, it uses a pre-shared key that every user of the network must have in order to be able to send and receive data. Like WPA, it uses TKIP, which improves greatly over the encryption found in WEP.

d.WPA2-PSK

WPA2-PSK is designed for home users. Like WEP, it uses a pre-shared key that every user of the network must have in order to be able to send and receive data. Like WPA, it uses AES, which improves greatly over the encryption found in WEP.

We recommend you use WPA-PSK/WPA2 or WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK whenever possible. For the detail security setting, please refer to Chapter 4—Configuring Wireless Security.

1256-bit WEP shall be complied with your AP/Router’s WEP setting.
