Key Mode: Password: Select HEX or ASCII. You can select ASCII (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal (in the "a~f" and "0~9" range) for the key format. Set a WEP Key you wish to use and enter the key value. - If you select HEX and 64 bits, enter a 10-digit Hex key, for example, "12345abcde". - If you select ASCII and 64 bits, enter a 5-digit ASCII key, for example, "xyz01". - If you select HEX and 128 bits, enter a 26-digit Hex key, for example, "12345abcde67890bcdef123456". - If you select ASCII and 128 bits, enter a 13-digit ASCII key, for example, "wepkeyexample". WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared key (PSK) to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication, so the encryption key is not easy to be broken by hackers. This can greatly improve your wireless security.WPA2-PSK AES is the most secured setting for general users. Encryption Type: Select either AES or TKIP. It is suggested to select AES if all your wireless devices support this encryption mode. Note: IEEE802.11n only supports AES encryption. If you use TKIP as your encryption, wireless data rate will drop to 54Mbps (802.11g standard). 27
