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.
