Table 70 Wireless Security Levels SECURITY LEVEL SECURITY TYPE Strongest WPA2 WPA-PSK2 WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key) IEEE 802.1x EAP with RADIUS Server Authentication WEP Encryption MAC Address Filtering Weakest No Security Note: WPA2 or WPA2-PSK security is recommended. • You can use the ZyWALL's local user database to use WPA or WPA2 without using an external RADIUS server. With WPA or WPA2, users have to log into the wireless network before using it. This is called user authentication. WPA and WPA2 are also called the enterprise version of WPA). • WPA2-PSK and WPA-PSK do not employ user authentication and are known as the personal version of WPA. • WEP is better than no security, but it is still possible for unauthorized devices to figure out the original information pretty quickly. Click Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN > Add (or Edit) to open the WLAN Edit screen. The screen varies according to the security features you select.
