Chapter 13 AP Profile
NWA/WAC/WAX Series User’s Guide
133
Profile Name Enter up to 31 alphanumeric characters to be used as this profile’s name. Spaces and
underscores are allowed.
802.11 Band Select whether this radio would use the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band.
802.11 Mode Select how to let wireless clients connect to the AP.
If 802.11 Band is set to 2.4G:
• 11b/g: allows either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate
with the Zyxel Device. The Zyxel Device adjusts the transmission rate automatically
according to the wireless standard supported by the wireless devices.
• 11n: allows IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the Zyxel Device.
• 11ax: allows IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g, IEEE802.11n, and IEEE802.11ax compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the Zyxel Device. If the WLAN device isn’t compatible with
802.11ax, the Zyxel Device will communicate with the WLAN device using 802.11n, and
so on.
If 802.11 Band is set to 5G:
• 11a: allows only IEEE 802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate with the Zyxel
Device.
• 11n: allows both IEEE802.11n and IEEE802.11a compliant WLAN devices to associate
with the Zyxel Device.
• 11ac: allows IEEE802.11n, IEEE802.11a, and IEEE802.11ac compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the Zyxel Device. If the WLAN device isn’t compatible with 802.11ac, the
Zyxel Device will communicate with the WLAN device using 802.11n, and so on.
• 11ax: allows IEEE802.11n, IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11ac, and IEEE802.11ax compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the Zyxel Device. If the WLAN device isn’t compatible with
802.11ax, the Zyxel Device will communicate with the WLAN device using 802.11ac,
and so on.
Channel Width Select the channel bandwidth you want to use for your wireless network.
Select 20 MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your
neighborhood.
Select 20/40 MHz to allow the Zyxel Device to choose the channel bandwidth (20 or 40
MHz) that has least interference.
Select 20/40/80 MHz to allow the Zyxel Device to choose the channel bandwidth (20 or 40
or 80 MHz) that has least interference. This option is available only when you select 11ac or
11ax in the 802.11 Mode field.
Note: If the environment has poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the Zyxel Device will
switch to a lower bandwidth.
Channel
Selection
This is the radio channel which the signal will use for broadcasting by this radio profile.
• DCS: Choose Dynamic Channel Selection to have the Zyxel Device choose a radio
channel that has least interference.
• Manual: Choose from the available radio channels in the list. If your Zyxel Device is
outdoor type, be sure to choose non-indoors channels.
Enable DCS
Client Aware
Select this to have the Zyxel Device switch channels only when there are no clients
connected to it. If there is a client connected, the Zyxel Device will not switch channels but
generate a log. The Zyxel Device tries to scan and switch channels again at the end of the
specified time interval or at the scheduled time.
If you disable this then the Zyxel Device switches channels immediately regardless of any
client connections. In this instance, clients that are connected to the Zyxel Device when it
switches channels are dropped.
Blacklist DFS
channels in
presence of radar
This field is available if 802.11 Band is set to 5G and Channel Selection is set to DCS.
Enable this to temporarily blacklist the wireless channels in the Dynamic Frequency
Selection (DFS) range whenever a radar signal is detected by the Zyxel Device.
