Wep Encryption - ZyXEL Communications P-334WT User Manual

P-334WT User's Guide
WPA(2)
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA 2 (IEEE
802.11i) is a wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption, authentication and
key management than WPA.
Key differences between WPA(2) and WEP are improved data encryption and user
authentication.
Antenna
The Prestige is equipped with a 2dBi fixed antenna to provide clear radio signal between the
wireless stations and the access points.
Wireless LAN MAC Address Filtering
Your Prestige can check the MAC addresses of wireless stations against a list of allowed or
denied MAC addresses.

WEP Encryption

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting over the wireless
network to help keep network communications private.
OTIST (One Touch Intelligent Security Technology)
OTIST allows your Prestige to assign its ESSID and security settings (WEP or WPA-PSK) to
the ZyXEL wireless adapters that support OTIST and are within transmission range. The
ZyXEL wireless adapters must also have OTIST enabled.
G-Plus
G-plus is an enhancement to the IEEE 802.11g wireless standard. It increases wireless
transmission speeds by allowing larger frames to be sent.
Wireless List
With the wireless list, you can see the list of the wireless stations that are currently using the
Prestige to access your wired network.
Wireless LAN Channel Usage
The Wireless Channel Usage displays whether the radio channels are used by other wireless
devices within the transmission range of the Prestige. This allows you to select the channel
with minimum interference for your Prestige.
