802.11 Mode
For 2.4 GHz frequency WiFi devices:
• Select
802.11b Only
to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WiFi devices to associate with the
Zyxel Device.
• Select
802.11g Only
to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WiFi devices to associate with the
Zyxel Device.
• Select
802.11n
Only
to allow only IEEE 802.11n compliant WiFi devices to associate with the
Zyxel Device.
• Select
802.11b/g Mixed
to allow either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WiFi devices
to associate with the Zyxel Device. The transmission rate of your Zyxel Device might be
reduced.
• Select
802.11b/g/n Mixed
to allow IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g or IEEE 802.11n compliant WiFi
devices to associate with the Zyxel Device. The transmission rate of your Zyxel Device might
be reduced.
• Select
802.11b/g/n/ax Mixed
to allow IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n or IEEE
802.11ax compliant WiFi devices to associate with the Zyxel Device. The transmission rate of
your Zyxel Device might be reduced.
For 5 GHz frequency WiFi devices:
• Select
802.11a Only
to allow only IEEE 802.11a compliant WiFi devices to associate with the
Zyxel Device.
• Select
802.11n Only
to allow only IEEE 802.11n compliant WiFi devices to associate with the
Zyxel Device.
• Select
802.11ac Only
to allow only IEEE 802.11ac compliant WiFi devices to associate with
the Zyxel Device.
• Select
802.11a/n Mixed
to allow either IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11n compliant WiFi devices
to associate with the Zyxel Device. The transmission rate of your Zyxel Device might be
reduced.
• Select
802.11n/ac Mixed
to allow either IEEE 802.11n or IEEE 802.11ac compliant WiFi
devices to associate with the Zyxel Device. The transmission rate of your Zyxel Device might
be reduced.
• Select
802.11a/n/ac Mixed
to allow IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11n or IEEE 802.11ac compliant
WiFi devices to associate with the Zyxel Device. The transmission rate of your Zyxel Device
might be reduced.
• Select
802.11a/n/ac/ax Mixed
to allow IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11n, IEEE 802.11ac or IEEE
802.11ax compliant WiFi devices to associate with the Zyxel Device. The transmission rate of
your Zyxel Device might be reduced.
802.11 Protection Enabling this feature can help prevent collisions in mixed-mode networks (networks with both
IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g traffic).
Select
Auto
to have the wireless devices transmit data after a RTS/CTS handshake. This helps
improve IEEE 802.11g performance.
Select
Off
to disable 802.11 protection. The transmission rate of your Zyxel Device might be
reduced in a mixed-mode network.
This field displays
Off
and is not configurable when you set
802.11 Mode
to
802.11b Only
.
Preamble
Select a preamble type from the drop-down list box. Choices are
Long
or
Short
. See
for more information.
This field is configurable only when you set
802.11 Mode
to
802.11b
or
802.11b/g Mixed
.
Protected
Management
Frames
This option is only available when using
WPA2-PSK
as the
Security Mode
and
AES
Encryption in
Network Setting > Wireless > General
. Management frame protection (MFP) helps prevent
wireless DoS attacks.
Select
Disable
if you do not want to use MFP.
Select
Capable
to encrypt management frames of wireless clients that support MFP. Clients
that do not support MFP will still be allowed to join the wireless network, but remain
unprotected.
Select
Required
to allow only clients that support MFP to join the wireless network.
