Chapter 4 Wireless LAN

Note: It is recommended that wireless networks use WPA-PSK, WPA, or stronger 

encryption. IEEE 802.1x and WEP encryption are better than none at all, but it 
is still possible for unauthorized devices to figure out the original information 
pretty quickly.

It is not possible to use WPA-PSK, WPA or stronger encryption with a local 
user database. In this case, it is better to set up stronger encryption with no 
authentication than to set up weaker encryption with the local user database.

When you select WPA2 or WPA2-PSK in your ZyXEL Device, you can also select an option 
(WPA Compatible) to support WPA as well. In this case, if some wireless clients support 
WPA and some support WPA2, you should set up WPA2-PSK or WPA2 (depending on the 
type of wireless network login) and select the WPA Compatible option in the ZyXEL Device.

Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network. The 
longer the key, the stronger the encryption. Every wireless client in the wireless network must 
have the same key.

Note: If you are configuring the ZyXEL Device from a computer connected to the 

wireless LAN and you change the ZyXEL Device’s SSID, channel or security 
settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you press Apply to 
confirm. You must then change the wireless settings of your computer to match 
the ZyXEL Device’s new settings.
