7.5 Technical Reference

This section provides technical background information on the topics discussed in this chapter.
The following is a general guideline in choosing the security mode for your ZyXEL Device.
• Use WPA(2)-PSK if you have WPA(2)-aware wireless clients but no RADIUS server.Use
WPA(2) security if you have WPA(2)-aware wireless clients and a RADIUS server. WPA
has user authentication and improved data encryption over WEP.
• Use WPA(2)-PSK if you have WPA(2)-aware wireless clients but no RADIUS server.
• If you don't have WPA(2)-aware wireless clients, then use WEP key encrypting. A higher
bit key offers better security. You can manually enter 64-bit, 128-bit or 152-bit WEP keys.

ZyXEL NWA-1100 User's Guide
DESCRIPTION
Choose WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA2-PSK-MIX in this field.
The encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSK are the same. The only
difference between the two is that WPA-PSK uses a simple common password,
instead of user-specific credentials.
Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including
spaces and symbols).
Click Apply to save your changes.
