Additional Installation Requirements For Using 802.1X; Wireless Card - ZyXEL Communications ZyXEL ZyWALL 2WG User Manual

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.
If some wireless clients support WPA and some support WPA2, you should set up WPA2-
PSK-Mix or WPA2-Mix (depending on the type of wireless network login) in the ZyWALL.
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.

• A computer with an IEEE 802.11a/b/g wireless LAN card.
• A computer equipped with a web browser (with JavaScript enabled) and/or Telnet.
• A wireless station must be running IEEE 802.1x-compliant software. Currently, this is
offered in Windows XP.
• An optional network RADIUS server for remote user authentication and accounting.

change the ZyWALL's SSID 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
