Chapter 7 Wireless LAN 7.3.3 WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Authentication 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. Use this type of security of you do not use a RADIUS server to authenticate user credentials.Th 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. Use this option if you do not have RADIUS server on your network to verify user credentials. Click Network > Wireless LAN > Security and select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK from the Security Mode list. Figure 39 Network > Wireless LAN > Security: WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK The following table describes the wireless LAN security labels in this screen. Table 28 Network > Wireless LAN > Security: WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK LABEL DESCRIPTION SSID Select the SSID security profile you want to configure. Security Mode Choose WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK from the drop-down list box. WPA Compatible This field is only available for WPA2-PSK. Select this if you want the ZyXEL Device to support WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK simultaneously. 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 (including spaces and symbols). FSG2200HNU User's Guide 113
