Wireless Security

Setup

 

 

Select SSID

Select the desired Service Set Identity (SSID).

 

 

Encryption

Choose the encryption security type, WEP. The other

 

encryption security options are: WPA, WPA2, WPA-Mixed, and

 

Disable. The default is Disable.

 

 

Authentication

Select Open System, Shared Key, or Auto authentication.

 

Auto is the default. This specifies whether the wireless clients

 

have to provide the WEP key to login to the wireless client. Most

 

users keep this setting at Auto or Open System unless they

 

want to force a key verification before communication between

 

the wireless client and the FSG1100HN occurs. Selecting

 

Shared Key forces clients to provide the WEP key prior to

 

communication.

Key Length

Select the level of encryption, 64-bitor 128-bit.

 

 

Key Format

Select ASCII (5 characters) or Hex (10 characters). American

 

Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) is a system

 

using alphanumeric characters. ASCII strings are automatically

 

converted to hexadecimal format for use over a network. Hex

 

uses the actual hexadecimal format based on the numbers 0 to

 

9 and the letters A to F.

 

 

Encryption

Keys are used to encrypt data. Both the FSG1100HN and the

Key 1

wireless stations must use the same WEP key for data

to 4

transmission. If you chose 64-bit, then enter any five ASCII

 

characters or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F"). If you

 

chose 128-bit, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26

 

hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F"). At least one key must be

 

configured and up to four keys overall can be configured.

 

However, only one key can be activated at any

 

single time. The default key is Encryption Key 1.

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes back to the FSG1100HN.

wireless active fiber router specifications

ZyXEL Communications has made a significant impact in the networking industry with its innovative wireless active fiber routers, known for their robust performance and advanced features. These routers are tailored for both residential and small-to-medium business environments, providing high-speed internet access that leverages the power of fiber-optic technology.

One of the standout features of ZyXEL's wireless active fiber router is its support for ultra-fast broadband connections. By utilizing fiber optics, the router can deliver significantly higher data rates compared to traditional copper-based connections. This technology ensures that users can enjoy seamless video streaming, online gaming, and heavy downloading without interruptions.

The router boasts multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing for wired connections to devices that require a stable and high-speed internet connection. This is particularly advantageous for gamers and professionals who depend on low latency and reliability in their connection.

MU-MIMO enables the router to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously, improving overall network efficiency and throughput. Beamforming helps in directing the Wi-Fi signal towards connected devices rather than dispersing it evenly, enhancing coverage and speed in larger areas.

Security is a paramount concern for any networking device, and ZyXEL recognizes this with its advanced security features. The router includes WPA3 encryption, which offers enhanced protection against unauthorized access and ensures a secure connection for all devices on the network. Additional security features include a built-in firewall and support for VPN connections, providing users with peace of mind regarding their online privacy.

For ease of management, ZyXEL has integrated an intuitive web interface and a mobile app that allows users to monitor and control their network settings conveniently. Users can customize their network setup, manage connected devices, and even set parental controls to ensure a safe internet environment for children.

In summary, ZyXEL Communications’ wireless active fiber router stands out with its high-speed broadband capabilities, advanced wireless technologies, robust security features, and user-friendly management interface. These characteristics make it an ideal choice for those looking to enhance their home or business networking experience, ensuring reliable and fast internet access for all connected devices.
