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.
7.2.5 One-Touch Intelligent Security Technology (OTIST)
With ZyXEL’s OTIST, you set up the SSID and WPA-PSK on the ZyXEL Device. Then, the
ZyXEL Device transfers them to the devices in the wireless networks. As a result, you do not
have to set up the SSID and encryption on every device in the wireless network.
The devices in the wireless network have to support OTIST, and they have to be in range of
the ZyXEL Device when you activate it. See
Section 7.4 on page 117 for more details.

then change the wireless settings of your computer to match the ZyXEL
Device’s new settings.
