8.2Levels of Security
The figure below shows the possible wireless security levels on your ZyWALL. The highest security level is EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) authentication. It requires interaction with a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server either on the WAN or your LAN to provide authentication service for wireless clients.
FigureIf you do not enable any wireless security on your ZyWALL, your network is accessible to any wireless networking device that is within range.
