Parameters Key Length Key Format Default Tx Key Encryption Key 1~4 Description You can select the WEP key length for encryption, 64-bit or 128bit. Larger WEP key length will provide higher level of security, but the throughput will be lower. You may select to select ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal Digits (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) to be the WEP Key. You can set up to four sets of WEP key, and you can decide which key is being used by default here. If you don't know which one you should use, select 'Key 1'. The WEP key are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless network. Fill the text box by following the rules below. 64-bit WEP: input 10-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "09" range) or 5-digit ASCII character as the encryption keys. 128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "09" range) or 13-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys. 3.2.2.2 WPA Pre-share Key Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP/AES to change the encryption key frequently. So the encryption key is not easy to be broken by hackers. This can improve security very much. Select "WPA Pre-share Key" for the "Encryption" mode if you wish to use WPA/WPA2-PSK to encrypt your wireless network. 39
