NWA50AX / NWA90AX / NWA55AXE - Configure WiFi & Guest WiFi

Setting up a WiFi Network in Nebula starts with the most basic step, setting up a SSID for NWA50AX / NWA90AX / NWA55AXE. The SSID is the network which is actually being broadcast. This tutorial helps you setting up an SSID on your Nebula devices with corresponding settings.

Log in to your Nebula account: http://nebula.zyxel.com

Make sure the devices you want to use are registered for then navigate to:

Organization-wide -> License & Inventory -> Devices 

• After making sure that the device has been added, let's start configuring it. Go to the:

Site-wide > Configure > WiFi SSID settings

In the "WiFi SSID settings" section possible to configure both WIFI for "internal" users and guest WIFI also. To see all SSIDs options and change their settings, click on Advanced mode: “Show all”

• Set up a "Name" and "Enable" the SSID

• Also in the "WiFi SSID settings" section, you can configure authentication and other advanced settings. To do this, click "Edit" in the "SSID advanced settings" section of the corresponding SSID

• The "SSID Advanced Settings" section includes the following sections:

"Security options" -  allow to customize the WPA pre-shared key, leave the security open, or configure captive portal settings.

"Traffic options" - allow to select a rate limitation to distribute only as much bandwidth as needed via a specific SSID

"Advanced settings"  - allow choose a band you want to use 2.4GHz, 5GHz, or both bands, Configure Layer 2 isolation and Intra-BSS traffic blocking i.e....
Note: When using a guest WIFI network, it is highly recommended to enable Layer 2 isolation. This security measure ensures that guests cannot access or potentially pose a threat to other users on the network. More on this at the link:  Nebula [Guest WiFi] - Configure Guest WiFi with Layer 2 isolation

On the bottom you see a green “Save” button. Make sure you save all your changes

The SSID should be visible now and ready to accept your client’s connection requests!
