LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Passphrase	If you set security for the wireless LAN and have the ZyXEL Device
Type	generate a password, the setting in this field determines how the ZyXEL
	Device generates the password.
	Select None to set the ZyXEL Device’s password generation to not be
	based on a passphrase.
	Select Fixed to use a 16 character passphrase for generating a password.
	Select Variable to use a 16 to 63 character passphrase for generating a
	password.
Passphrase	For a fixed type passphrase enter 16 alphanumeric characters (0-9, A-Z,
Key	with no spaces). It must contain both letters and numbers and is case-
	sensitive.
	For a variable type passphrase enter 16 to 63 alphanumeric characters (0-
	9, A-Z, with no spaces). It must contain both letters and numbers and is
	case-sensitive.
Bandwidth	Select whether the ZyXEL Device uses a wireless channel width of 20MHz
	or 40MHz.
	A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps
	whereas a 40MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds
	of up to 300 Mbps.
	40MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio
	channels to increase throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40
	MHz. It is often better to use the 20 MHz setting in a location where the
	environment hinders the wireless signal.
	Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless
	devices in your neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support
	channel bonding.
Control	This is available for some regions when you select a specific channel and
Sideband	set the Bandwidth field to 40MHz. Set whether the control channel (set in
	the Channel field) should be in the Lower or Upper range of channel
	bands.
Wireless Network Settings
Wireless	The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which a
Network	wireless device is associated. Wireless devices associating to the access
Name (SSID)	point (AP) must have the same SSID.
	Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 English keyboard characters) for the
	wireless LAN.
Hide SSID	Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a
	station cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.
Client	Select this to keep the wireless clients in this SSID from communicating
Isolation	with each other through the ZyXEL Device.
