8.2.2 More Secure (Recommended)
The WPA-PSK (WiFi Protected Access-Pre-Shared Key) security mode provides both improved data
encryption and user authentication over WEP. Using a pre-shared key, 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. The WPA2-PSK security mode
is a more robust version of the WPA encryption standard. It offers better security, although the use of PSK
makes it less robust than it could be.
Click Network Setting > Wireless to display the General screen. Select More Secure as the security level.
WPA2-PSK is the default Security Mode.
