Wireless Security Overview

Wireless security is vital to your network to protect wireless communication
between wireless clients, access points and the wired network.

Wireless security methods available on the ZyXEL Device are data encryption,
wireless client authentication, restricting access by device MAC address and hiding
the ZyXEL Device identity.

The following figure shows the relative effectiveness of these wireless security
methods available on your ZyXEL Device.

Note: You must enable the same wireless security settings on the ZyXEL Device and

on all wireless clients that you want to associate with it.
