6.2.3 More Secure (WPA(2)-PSK)
The WPA-PSK security mode provides both improved data encryption and user
authentication over WEP. Using a Pre-Shared Key (PSK), 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 newer, more robust version
of the WPA encryption standard. It offers slightly better security, although the use
of PSK makes it less robust than it could be.
Click Network Settings > Wireless to display the General screen. Select More
Secure as the security level. Then select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK from the
Security Mode list.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
Security Level Select More Secure to enable WPA(2)-PSK data encryption.
Security Mode Select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK from the drop-down list box.
Pre-Shared Key The encryption mechanisms used for WPA/WPA2 and WPA-PSK/
WPA2-PSK are the same. The only difference between the two is that
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a simple common password, instead of
user-specific credentials.
Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters or
64 hexidecimal digits.
