Encryption

WEP

Authentication Type

You can select Open System or Shared Key type for authentication.

Key Length

You can set 64bit or 128bit Encryption.

Key Format

Select ASCII if you are using ASCII characters (case-sensitive).

Select HEX if you are using hexadecimal numbers (0-9, or A-F).

Default TX Key

You can enter 4 different Encryption Key and select one key to use as default.

10 hexadecimal digits or 5 ASCII characters are needed if 64-bit WEP is used;

26 hexadecimal digits or 13 ASCII characters are needed if 128-bit WEP is used.

Shared Key is used when both the sender and the recipient share a secret key. So you can choose Open

system, or one Shared Key authentication method.

WPA-PSK

Encryption: WPA-PSK (TKIP) or WPA-PSK (AES)

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with Pre-Shared Key (PSK) provides better security than WEP keys. It does

not require a RADIUS server in order to provide association authentication, but you do have to enter a shared

key for the authentication purpose. The encryption key is generated automatically and dynamically.
