7.2.4 WPA(2) Authentication
The WPA2 security mode is currently the most robust form of encryption for
wireless networks. It requires a RADIUS server to authenticate user credentials
and is a full implementation the security protocol. Use this security option for
maximum protection of your network. However, it is the least backwards
compatible with older devices.
The WPA security mode is a security subset of WPA2. It requires the presence of a
RADIUS server on your network in order to validate user credentials. This
encryption standard is slightly older than WPA2 and therefore is more compatible
with older devices.
WPA-PSK
Compatible
This field appears when you choose WPA-PSK2 as the Security Mode.
Check this field to allow wireless devices using WPA-PSK security
mode to connect to your ZyXEL Device. The ZyXEL Device supports
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK simultaneously.
Encryption Select the encryption type (AES or TKIP+AES) for data encryption.
Select AES if your wireless clients can all use AES.
Select TKIP+AES to allow the wireless clients to use either TKIP or
AES.
Group Key
Update Timer
The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the RADIUS server
sends a new group key out to all clients.
