CHAPTER 1
Getting to Know Your G-570U
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the G-570U.
1.1 Introducing the G-570U Wireless Access Point
The ZyXEL G-570U is a 4-in-1 wireless Access Point.
Access Point (AP), repeater, bridge and wireless client functions allow you to use the G-570U
in various network deployments.
The G-570U Access Point (AP) allows wireless stations to communicate and/or access a wired
network. It can work as a bridge and repeater to extend your wireless network. You can also
use it as a wireless client to access a wired network through another AP. The G-570U uses
IEEE 802.1x, WEP data encryption, WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), WPA2 and MAC
address filtering to give mobile users highly secured wireless connectivity. IEEE 802.11a,
IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g compliant wireless devices can associate with the G-570U.
In addition to being highly flexible, the G-570U is easy to install and configure.
1.2 G-570U Features
The following sections describe the features of the G-570U.
Bridge/Repeater
The G-570U can act as a bridge, establishing wireless links with other APs or as a repeater,
establishing wireless links to APs.
WDS Functionality
A Distribution System (DS) is a wired connection between two or more APs, while a Wireless
Distribution System (WDS) is a wireless connection. Your G-570U supports WDS
connections to other G-570U APs.

This provides a cost-effective solution for wireless
network expansion.
