Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA 2 (IEEE 
802.11i) is a wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption, authentication and 
key management than WPA.

Key differences between WPA(2) and WEP are improved data encryption and user 
authentication.

The ZyXEL Device is equipped with a 2dBi fixed antenna to provide clear radio signal 
between the wireless stations and the access points. 

Your ZyXEL Device can check the MAC addresses of wireless stations against a list of 
allowed or denied MAC addresses.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting over the wireless 
network to help keep network communications private.

With the wireless list, you can see the list of the wireless stations that are currently using the 
ZyXEL Device to access your wired network.

Here are some examples of what you can do with your ZyXEL Device. 

The ZyXEL Device supports three operating modes: Router, Access Point and WiFi WAN 
Router.

The ZyXEL Device is in Router mode by default and function as a normal (wireless) router.

You can connect a cable modem, DSL or wireless modem to the ZyXEL Device for broadband 
Internet access via an Ethernet or a wireless port on the modem. The ZyXEL Device 
guarantees not only high speed Internet access, but secure internal network protection and 
traffic management as well.
