The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which a

Name (SSID)

 

wireless device is associated. Wireless devices associating to the access

 

 

point (AP) must have the same SSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32

 

 

printable 7-bit ASCII characters) for the wireless LAN.

 

 

Note: If you are configuring the ZyXEL Device from a computer

 

 

connected to the wireless LAN and you change the ZyXEL

 

 

Device’s SSID or WEP settings, you will lose your wireless

 

 

connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must then

 

 

change the wireless settings of your computer to match the

 

 

ZyXEL Device’s new settings.
