network and bring you a better Internet experience over existing 802.11 networks.
This section includes an overview of your NWD Series adapter.What You Need to Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this section, and subsequently as
you read through the rest of the User’s Guide.
Access Point
An Access Point (AP) is a network device that acts as a bridge between a wired and a wireless
network. Outside of the home or office, APs can most often be found in coffee shops, bookstores
and other businesses that offer wireless Internet connectivity to their customers.
Infrastructure
An infrastructure network is one that seamlessly combines both wireless and wired components.
One or more APs often serve as the bridge between wireless and wired LANs.
1.1.1 Before You Begin
Read the Quick Start Guide for information on making hardware connections and using the ZyXEL
utility to connect your NWD Series to a network.
1.2 About Your NWD Series Wireless LAN Adapter
Your NWD Series IEEE 802.11ac compliant wireless LAN adapter can also connect to IEEE 802.11 a/
b/g/n/ac wireless networks. The NWD Series’ WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) allows you to easily
connect to another WPS-enabled device.
The NWD Series of USB adapters connect to an empty USB port on your computer.

Wireless LANs
3.1 Overview
This section provides background information on wireless Local Area Networks.
3.1.1 What You Need to Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this section.
Server
When two or more devices are connected digitally to form a network, the one that distributes data
to the other devices is known as the “server”. A RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User
Service) is a kind of server that manages logins and logout, among other things, for the network to
which it is connected.
Client
When two or more devices are connected digitally to form a network, the one that contacts and
obtains data from a server is known as the “client”. Each client is designed to work with one or
more specific kinds of servers, and each server requires a specific kind of client. Wireless adapters
are clients that connect to a network server through an AP.
NWD Series User’s Guide

Chapter 3 Wireless LANs
3.2 Wireless LAN Overview
The following figure provides an example of a wireless network with an AP.
Figure 8 Example of a Wireless Network
The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B are
called wireless clients. The wireless clients use the access point (AP) to interact with other devices
(such as the printer) or with the Internet
Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines.
• Every device in the same wireless network must use the same SSID.
The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity.
• If two wireless networks overlap, they should use a different channel.
Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or
frequency, to send and receive information.
• Every device in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP or peer
computer.
Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the
information that is sent in the wireless network.
3.3 Wireless LAN Security
Wireless LAN security is vital to your network to protect wireless communications.
If you do not enable any wireless security on your NWD Series, the NWD Series’s wireless
communications are accessible to any wireless networking device that is in the coverage area.

NWD Series User’s Guide
Chapter 3 Wireless LANs
3.3.1 WEP
3.3.1.1 Data Encryption
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption scrambles all data packets transmitted between the
NWD Series and the AP or other wireless stations to keep network communications private. Both
the wireless stations and the access points must use the same WEP key for data encryption and
decryption.
There are two ways to create WEP keys in your NWD Series.
• Automatic WEP key generation based on a “password phrase” called a passphrase. The
passphrase is case sensitive. You must use the same passphrase for all WLAN adapters with this
feature in the same WLAN.
For WLAN adapters without the passphrase feature, you can still take advantage of this feature
by writing down the four automatically generated WEP keys from the Se cu r it y Se t t in gs screen
of the ZyXEL utility and entering them manually as the WEP keys in the other WLAN adapter(s).
• Enter the WEP keys manually.
Your NWD Series allows you to configure up to four 64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys. Only one key is
used as the default key at any one time.
3.3.1.2 Authentication Type
The IEEE 802.11b/g/n standard describes a simple authentication method between the wireless
stations and AP. Three authentication types are defined: Aut o, Ope n and Sha r e d.
•
Ope n mode is implemented for ease-of-use and when security is not an issue. The wireless
station and the AP or peer computer do not share a secret key. Thus the wireless stations can
associate with any AP or peer computer and listen to any transmitted data that is not encrypted.
• Sha r e d mode involves a shared secret key to authenticate the wireless station to the AP or peer
computer. This requires you to enable the wireless LAN security and use same settings on both
the wireless station and the AP or peer computer.
•
Aut o authentication mode allows the NWD Series to switch between the open system and
shared key modes automatically. Use the auto mode if you do not know the authentication mode
of the other wireless stations.
3.3.2 WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) is a
wireless security standard that defines stronger encryption, authentication and key management
than WPA.
Key differences between WPA(2) and WEP are improved data encryption and user authentication.
Both WPA and WPA2 improve data encryption by using Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP),
Message Integrity Check (MIC) and IEEE 802.1x. WPA and WPA2 use Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES) in the Counter mode with Cipher block chaining Message authentication code
Protocol (CCMP) to offer stronger encryption than TKIP.
The encryption mechanisms used for WPA(2) and WPA(2)-PSK are the same. The only difference
between the two is that WPA(2)-PSK uses a simple common password, instead of user-specific
credentials. The common-password approach makes WPA(2)-PSK susceptible to brute-force
password-guessing attacks but it’s still an improvement over WEP as it employs a consistent,
NWD Series User’s Guide
23
Chapter 3 Wireless LANs
single, alphanumeric password to derive a PMK which is used to generate unique temporal
encryption keys. This prevent all wireless devices sharing the same encryption keys. (a weakness of
WEP)
If both an AP and the wireless clients support WPA2-PSK, use WPA2-PSK for stronger data
encryption. If the AP or the wireless clients do not support WPA2-PSK, just use WPA-PSK. Select
WEP only when the AP and/or wireless clients do not support WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK. WEP is less
secure than WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.
3.4 Wi-Fi Protected Setup
3.4.1 How WPS Works
When two WPS-enabled devices connect, each device must assume a specific role. One device acts
as the registrar (the device that supplies network and security settings) and the other device acts
as the enrollee (the device that receives network and security settings. The registrar creates a
secure EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) tunnel and sends the network name (SSID) and the
WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK pre-shared key to the enrollee. Whether WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is used
depends on the standards supported by the devices. If the registrar is already part of a network, it
sends the existing information. If not, it generates the SSID and WPA(2)-PSK randomly.
The following figure shows a WPS-enabled client (installed in a notebook computer) connecting to a
WPS-enabled access point.

NWD Series User’s Guide
Chapter 3 Wireless LANs
The roles of registrar and enrollee last only as long as the WPS setup process is active (two
minutes). The next time you use WPS, a different device can be the registrar if necessary.
The WPS connection process is like a handshake; only two devices participate in each WPS
transaction. If you want to add more devices you should repeat the process with one of the existing
networked devices and the new device.
Note that the access point (AP) is not always the registrar, and the wireless client is not always the
enrollee. All WPS-certified APs can be a registrar, and so can some WPS-enabled wireless clients.
By default, a WPS devices is “unconfigured”. This means that it is not part of an existing network
and can act as either enrollee or registrar (if it supports both functions). If the registrar is
unconfigured, the security settings it transmits to the enrollee are randomly-generated. Once a
WPS-enabled device has connected to another device using WPS, it becomes “configured”. A
configured wireless client can still act as enrollee or registrar in subsequent WPS connections, but a
configured access point can no longer act as enrollee. It will be the registrar in all subsequent WPS
connections in which it is involved. If you want a configured AP to act as an enrollee, you must reset
it to its factory defaults.
3.4.1.1 Example WPS Network Setup
This section shows how security settings are distributed in an example WPS setup.
The following figure shows an example network. In step 1 , both AP1 and Clie nt 1 are
unconfigured. When WPS is activated on both, they perform the handshake. In this example, AP1
is the registrar, and Clie nt 1 is the enrollee. The registrar randomly generates the security
information to set up the network, since it is unconfigured and has no existing information.

In step 2 , you add another wireless client to the network. You know that Clie nt 1 supports registrar
mode, but it is better to use AP1 for the WPS handshake with the new client since you must
connect to the access point anyway in order to use the network. In this case, AP1 must be the

In step 3, you add another access point (AP2 ) to your network. AP2 is out of range of AP1 , so you
cannot use AP1 for the WPS handshake with the new access point. However, you know that Clie nt
2 supports the registrar function, so you use it to perform the WPS handshake instead.

3.4.2 Limitations of WPS
WPS has some limitations of which you should be aware.
• When you use WPS, it works between two devices only. You cannot enroll multiple devices
simultaneously, you must enroll one after the other.
For instance, if you have two enrollees and one registrar you must set up the first enrollee (by
pressing the WPS button on the registrar and the first enrollee, for example), then check that it
successfully enrolled, then set up the second device in the same way.
• WPS works only with other WPS-enabled devices. However, you can still add non-WPS devices to
a network you already set up using WPS.
WPS works by automatically issuing a randomly-generated WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK pre-shared
key from the registrar device to the enrollee devices. Whether the network uses WPA-PSK or
WPA2-PSK depends on the device. You can check the configuration interface of the registrar
device to discover the key the network is using (if the device supports this feature). Then, you
can enter the key into the non-WPS device and join the network as normal (the non-WPS device
must also support WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK).
• When you use the push button connection method, there is a short period (from the moment you
press the button on one device to the moment you press the button on the other device) when
any WPS-enabled device could join the network. This is because the registrar has no way of
identifying the “correct” enrollee, and cannot differentiate between your enrollee and a rogue
device. This is a possible way for a hacker to gain access to a network.
You can easily check to see if this has happened. WPS works between only two devices
simultaneously, so if another device has enrolled your device will be unable to enroll, and will not
have access to the network. If this happens, open the access point’s configuration interface and
look at the list of associated clients (usually displayed by MAC address). It does not matter if the
access point is the WPS registrar, the enrollee, or was not involved in the WPS handshake; a
rogue device must still associate with the access point to gain access to the network. Check the
MAC addresses of your wireless clients (usually printed on a label on the bottom of the device). If
there is an unknown MAC address you can remove it or reset the AP.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting
4.2 Link Quality
The link quality and/or signal strength is poor.
Scan for and connect to another AP with a better link quality.
Move your computer closer to the AP or the peer computer(s) within the transmission range.
There may be too much radio interference (for example from a microwave oven, or another AP
using the same channel) around your wireless network. Lower the output power of each AP.
Make sure there are not too many wireless stations connected to a wireless network.
4.3 Problems Communicating with Other Computers
The computer with the NWD Series adapter installed cannot communicate with the other
computer(s).
• Make sure that the AP and the associated computers are turned on and working properly.
• Make sure the NWD Series adapter computer and the associated AP use the same SSID.
• Change the AP and the associated wireless clients to use another radio channel if interference is
high.
• Make sure that the computer and the AP share the same security option and key. Verify the
settings in the Pr ofile Se cur it y Se t t ing screen.
• If you are using WPA(2)-PSK security, try changing your encryption type from TKIP to AES or vice
versa.
