Wireless LAN

This chapter discusses how to configure wireless LAN on the ZyWALL.

10.1 Wireless LAN Introduction

A wireless LAN can be as simple as two computers with wireless LAN adapters
communicating in a peer-to-peer network or as complex as a number of computers with
wireless LAN adapters communicating through access points which bridge network traffic to
the wired LAN. To add a wireless network to the ZyWALL, you can connect an Access Point
to a port in the WLAN role.

10.2 Configuring WLAN

To add wireless functionality to the ZyWALL, use the Port Roles screen (see

Figure 121 on

page 188

) to set a port to be part of the WLAN and connect an access point (AP) to the WLAN

interface.
Click NETWORK > WLAN to open the WLAN screen to configure the IP address for
ZyWALL’s WLAN interface, other TCP/IP and DHCP settings.
