It is a symmetric 128-bit block encryption method that works simultaneously on multiple network layers. • Wireless Network Key - This option becomes configurable when you select the WPA-Personal authentication mode. Key in 8 to 63 characters in this field. Note: The characters can also consist of 64 hexadecimal digits. • Wireless Network Key (WEP) - This option becomes configurable when you select WEP in the Data encryption field. 64-bit WEP key uses 5 ASCII characters (10 hexadecimal digits). 128-bit WEP key uses 13 ASCII (26 hexadecimal digits). • Key Format - Allows you to select the key format. P�a�s�s�p���h��r��a��s��e��- This field generates the WEP keys (Key 1 - Key 4). The passphrase can consists of a sentence, a phrase, or a sequence of alphanumeric characters . • Key Length - Allows you to select the key length. For 64-bit encryption, each key consists of 10 hexadecimal digits or 5 ASCII characters. For 128bit encryption, each key consists of 26 hexadecimal digits or 13 ASCII characters. • Select one as your Default Key - Allows you to select one of the four WEP Keys as the default key. Configuration - Advanced This Advanced page is intended for experienced users to set up additional parameters for the WLAN adapter. We recommend that you keep the default values. • RTS Threshold (0-2347) - The Request to Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS) function is used to minimize collisions among wireless stations. When RTS/ CTS is enabled, the router refrains from sending a data frame until another RTS/CTS handshake is completed. To enable RTS/CTS, set a specific packet size threshold. The default value (2347) is recommended. • �F�ra�g��m��e�n�t�a�t�io�n��T�h�r�e�s�h��o�ld��(�2�5�6�-�2�3�4��6�)�- Fragmentation is used to divide 802.11 frames into smaller pieces (fragments) that are sent separately to the destination. To enable fragmentation, set a specific packet size threshold. If there is an excessive number of collisions on the WLAN, experiment with different fragmentation values to increase the reliability of frame transmissions. The default value (2346) is recommended for normal use. • �P�re�a�m��b�l�e�M��o�d�e��- Select the preamble mode as Auto (default), Long or Short. 16 ASUS WLAN adapter
