MAC Filtering
Profile
Select a MAC filtering profile from the list to associate with this SSID. If none exist, you can use
the
Create new Object
menu to create one.
MAC filtering allows you to limit the wireless clients connecting to your network through a
particular SSID by wireless client MAC addresses. Any clients that have MAC addresses not in
the MAC filtering profile of allowed addresses are denied connections.
The
disable
setting means no MAC filtering is used.
QoS
Select a Quality of Service (QoS) access category to associate with this SSID. Access categories
minimize the delay of data packets across a wireless network. Certain categories, such as
video or voice, are given a higher priority due to the time sensitive nature of their data packets.
QoS access categories are as follows:
disable
: Turns off QoS for this SSID. All data packets are treated equally and not tagged with
access categories.
WMM
: Enables automatic tagging of data packets. The Zyxel Device assigns access categories
to the SSID by examining data as it passes through it and making a best guess effort. If
something looks like video traffic, for instance, it is tagged as such.
WMM_VOICE
: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as voice data. This is recommended if an
SSID is used for activities like placing and receiving VoIP phone calls.
WMM_VIDEO
: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as video data. This is recommended for
activities like video conferencing.
WMM_BEST_EFFORT
: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as “best effort,” meaning the data
travels the best route it can without displacing higher priority traffic. This is good for activities
that do not require the best bandwidth throughput, such as surfing the Internet.
WMM_BACKGROUND
: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as low priority or “background
traffic”, meaning all other access categories take precedence over this one. If traffic from an
SSID does not have strict throughput requirements, then this access category is recommended.
For example, an SSID that only has network printers connected to it.
Rate Limiting (Per
Station Traffic
Rate)
Define the maximum incoming and outgoing transmission data rate per wireless station
Downlink:
Define the maximum incoming transmission data rate (either in Mbps or Kbps) on a per-station
basis.
Uplink:
Define the maximum outgoing transmission data rate (either in Mbps or Kbps) on a per-station
basis.
Band Select:
To improve network performance and avoid interference in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, you
can enable this feature to use the 5 GHz band first. You should set 2.4GHz and 5 GHz radio
profiles to use the same SSID and security settings.
Select
standard
to have the AP try to connect the wireless clients to the same SSID using the 5
GHZ band. Connections to an SSID using the 2.4GHz band are still allowed.
Otherwise, select
disable
to turn off this feature.
Forwarding Mode Select a forwarding mode (
Tunnel
or
Local bridge
) for traffic from this SSID.
VLAN ID
If you selected
Local Bridge
forwarding mode, enter the VLAN ID that will be used to tag all
traffic originating from this SSID if the VLAN is different from the native VLAN. All the wireless
station’s traffic goes through the associated AP’s gateway.
VLAN Interface
If you selected the
Tunnel
forwarding mode, select a VLAN interface. All the wireless station’s
traffic is forwarded to the Zyxel Device first.
