LABEL DESCRIPTION
Wireless Settings
SSID The SSID identifies the Service Set to which a wireless station is associated.
Wireless stations associating to the access point (the ZyXEL G-220F) must have
the same SSID.
Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII 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 passive scanning using a site survey tool.
Channel Set the operating frequency/channel depending on your geographical region.
OutputPower Set this field if you need to conserve power consumption (especially for notebook
computers). This control changes the strength of the ZyXEL G-220F’s antenna
gain or transmission power. Antenna gain, measured in dBm (decibel relative units
compared to milliwatts), is the increase in coverage. Higher antenna gain improves
the range of the signal for better communications.
Select High to set the ZyXEL G-220F’s antenna to transmit at 17-dBm.
Select Medium-High to set the ZyXEL G-220F’s antenna to transmit at 15-dBm.
Select Medium-Low to set the ZyXEL G-220F’s antenna to transmit at 13-dBm.
Select Low to set the ZyXEL G-220F’s antenna to transmit at 11-dBm. This allows
for the least power consumption.
