"
It is recommended that wireless clients use
WPA-PSK
,
WPA
, or stronger
encryption. IEEE 802.1x and WEP encryption are better than none at all, but it
is still possible for unauthorized devices to figure out the original information
pretty quickly.
If some wireless clients support WPA and some support WPA2, you should set up
WPA2-
PSK-Mix
or
WPA2-Mix
(depending on the type of wireless network login) in the ZyWALL.
Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network. The
longer the key, the stronger the encryption. Every wireless client in the wireless network must
have the same key.
