Use the strongest security that every wireless client in the wireless network supports.

Table 59 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.
