6.5 Wireless LAN Setup
The next-generation wireless LAN device – 11 Mbps wireless LAN brings Ethernet-like performance to the
wireless realm. Fully compliant with the IEEE802.11(b) Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) standard,
the 11 Mbps wireless LAN also provides powerful features such as Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data
encryption .
As a security precaution, ZyXEL recommends that you at least change the ESSID setting of all devices on
your network to a unique value, not the default value. A further improvement in security can be obtained by
using WEP security. However, there may be a significant degradation of the data throughput rates on the
wireless link when WEP is enabled.
If you are configuring the ZyWALL from a computer connected to the wireless LAN
and you change the ZyWALL’s ESSID or WEP settings, you will lose your wireless
connection when you press [ENTER] to confirm. You must then change the
wireless settings of your computer to match the ZyWALL’s new settings.
From the main menu, enter 3 to open Menu 3 – LAN Setup to configure the Wireless LAN setup. To edit
the wireless LAN configuration, enter 5 to open Menu 3.5 – Wireless LAN Setup as shown next.
