Table 186 Wireless Features

Association List

This feature allows you to know which wireless stations are currently

 

associated with the ZyXEL Device. You can block the individual

 

wireless station in the association list screen from accessing the

 

ZyXEL Device.

 

 

WEP Encryption

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before

 

transmitting over the wireless network to help keep network

 

communications private.

 

 

Wi-Fi Protected Access

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i

 

security standard. Key differences between WPA and WEP are user

 

authentication and improved data encryption.

 

 

WPA2

WPA 2 is a wireless security standard that defines stronger

 

encryption, authentication and key management than WPA.

 

 

WDS

Use the WDS (Wireless Distribution System) to secure the link

 

between the ZyXEL Device and other APs on your network.

 

At the time of writing, the ZyXEL Device only supports WDS links with

 

other ZyXEL Devices.

 

 

WMM QoS

WMM (Wi-Fi MultiMedia) QoS (Quality of Service) allows you to

 

prioritize wireless traffic according to the delivery requirements of

 

individual services.

31.4.1 IEEE 802.11g Wireless LAN

IEEE 802.11g is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b standard. This means an IEEE 802.11b radio card can interface directly with an IEEE 802.11g access point (and vice versa) at 11 Mbps or lower depending on range. IEEE 802.11g has several intermediate rate steps between the maximum and minimum data rates. The IEEE 802.11g data rate and modulation are as follows:
