It contains information on setting up your network and configuring for Internet access. [. . . ] It is recommended that you configure the first WLAN adapter for AP functions and use the second WLAN adapter for bridge functions. Select MBSSID in this field to display the screen as shown Select 802. 11b Only to allow only IEEE 802. 11b compliant WLAN devices to associate with the ZyXEL Device. Select 802. 11g Only to allow only IEEE 802. 11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the ZyXEL Device. Select 802. 11b+g to allow both IEEE802. 11b and IEEE802. 11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the ZyXEL Device. Select 802. 11a to allow only IEEE 802. 11a compliant WLAN devices to associate with the ZyXEL Device. Select this to improve data throughput on the WLAN by enabling fast frame and packet bursting. Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your particular region. To manually set the ZyXEL Device to use a channel, select a channel from the drop-down list box.

Data with a frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC service data unit) size turns off the RTS/CTS handshake. Setting this attribute to its lowest value (256) turns on the RTS/CTS handshake. The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed messages. If there is a high density of APs in an area, decrease the output power to reduce interference with other APs. Select one of the following 100%(Full Power), 50%, 25%, 12. 5% or Minimum. See the product specifications for more information on your ZyXEL Device's output power. An SSID profile is the set of parameters relating to one of the ZyXEL Device's BSSs. The SSID (Service Set IDentifier) identifies the Service Set with which a wireless station is associated. Wireless stations associating with the access point (AP) must have the same SSID.
