13.6.1 WLAN Add/Edit Screen
Use the strongest security that every wireless client in the wireless network
supports.
Note: WPA2 or WPA2-PSK security is recommended.
• You can use the ZyWALL’s local user database to use WPA or WPA2 without
using an external RADIUS server. With WPA or WPA2, users have to log into the
wireless network before using it. This is called user authentication. WPA and
WPA2 are also called the enterprise version of WPA).
• WPA2-PSK and WPA-PSK do not employ user authentication and are known as
the personal version of WPA.
• WEP is better than no security, but it is still possible for unauthorized devices to
figure out the original information pretty quickly.
