8.2.2 More Secure (Recommended)
The WPA-PSK (WiFi Protected Access-Pre-Shared Key) security mode provides both improved data
encryption and user authentication over WEP. Using a pre-shared key, both the Zyxel Device and the
connecting client share a common password in order to validate the connection. This type of
encryption, while robust, is not as strong as WPA, WPA2 or even WPA2-PSK. The WPA2-PSK security mode
is a more robust version of the WPA encryption standard. It offers better security, although the use of PSK
makes it less robust than it could be.
The WPA3-SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals handshake) security mode protects against
dictionary attacks (password guessing attempts). It improves security by requiring a new encryption key
every time a WPA3 connection is made. A handshake is the communication between the Zyxel Device
and a connecting client at the beginning of a WiFi session.
Click Network Setting > Wireless to display the General screen. Select More Secure as the security level.
Then select WPA3-SAE from the Security Mode list if your WiFi client supports it. If you are not sure, select
WPA3-SAE/WPA2-PSK or WPA2-PSK .
