Applications For The Zyxel Device - ZyXEL Communications P-660HW-Tx v3 User Manual

The ZyXEL Device may be prone to RF (Radio Frequency) interference from
other 2.4 GHz devices such as microwave ovens, wireless phones, Bluetooth
enabled devices, and other wireless LANs.
Wi-Fi Protected Access
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i security specification standard.
Key differences between WPA and WEP are user authentication and improved data
encryption.
WPA2
WPA 2 (IEEE 802.11i) is a wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption,
authentication and key management than WPA.
Both WPA and WPA2 improve data encryption by using Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP), Message Integrity Check (MIC) and IEEE 802.1x. In addition to TKIP, WPA2 also
uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in the Counter mode with Cipher block chaining
Message authentication code Protocol (CCMP) to offer stronger encryption.
Antenna
The ZyXEL Device is equipped with one 3dBi fixed antenna to provide clear radio signal
between the wireless stations and the access points.
WEP Encryption
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting over the wireless
network to help keep network communications private.
Output Power Management
Output power management is the ability to set the level of output power.
There may be interference or difficulty with channel assignment when there is a high density
of APs within a coverage area. In this case you can lower the output power of each access
point, thus enabling you to place access points closer together.
Wireless LAN MAC Address Filtering
Your ZyXEL Device can check the MAC addresses of wireless stations against a list of
allowed or denied MAC addresses.
