Require WPA2
(802.11i)
Specify whether you want to require wireless stations to connect using
WPA2, by selecting one of the following:
• Enabled. Only wireless stations using WPA2 can access the
WLAN network.
• Disabled. Wireless stations using either WPA or WPA2 can
access the WLAN network. This is the default.
WPA Encryption Select the encryption method to use for authenticating and encrypting
wireless data:
• Auto. The ZoneAlarm router automatically selects the cipher
used by the wireless client. This is the default.
• AES. Advanced Encryption Standard
• TKIP. Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
Note: AES is more secure than TKIP; however, some devices do not
support AES.
WEP Keys If you selected WEP encryption, you must configure at least one WEP key.
The wireless stations must be configured with the same key, as well.
Key 1, 2, 3, 4 radio
button
Click the radio button next to the WEP key that this gateway should use for
transmission.
The selected key must be entered in the same key slot (1-4) on the station
devices, but the key need not be selected as the transmit key on the
stations.
Note: You can use all four keys to receive data.
