This mode functions only with other access points that support this mode. To configure WEP: 1. In the passphrase field, enter a passphrase. 2. Click the Generate Key button. The key is generated and placed in the WEP Key field. WPA-PSK TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is the standard encryption method used with WPA-PSK and the only selection possible from the Data Encryption drop-down menu.
