It is case-sensitive and can be up to 32 characters long. Wireless devices have a default SSID set by the factory.
Security - Encryption protects data transmitted over a wireless network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-Personal/WPA2-personal) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) offer different levels of security for wireless communication. A network encrypted with WPA-Personal/WPA2-personal is more secure than a network encrypted with WEP because WPA-Personal/WPA2-personal uses dynamic key encryption.
WEP- Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a basic encryption method which transmits network broadcast messages using radio signals. It is not as secure as WPA. Tx Key - Select a key from the drop-down menu. WEP Encryption - Select a level of WEP encryption: 64 bits 10 hex digits or 128 bits 26 hex digits. The default is 64 bits 10 hex digits. Key 1-4 - Enter the WEP key(s) manually. Authentication - The default is set to Open System, which allows either Shared Key or Auto authentication to be used.
WPA-Personal - WiFi Protected Access (WPA)-Personal Encryption - Supports two encryption methods with dynamic encryption keys: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Select the algorithm type from the drop down menu: TKIP or AES. The default is TKIP. Shared Key - Enter the key shared between the Router and the server keys. Enter a password of 8-63 characters. Click Apply to apply settings or Cancel to cancel changes.
WPA2-Personal- WiFi Protected Access (WPA2-Personal) Encryption - WPA2 supports AES encryption method with dynamic encryption keys. Shared Key - Enter the key shared between the Router and the server keys. Enter a password of 8-63 characters. NOTE - If using WPA or WPA2, each device in the wireless network must use the same WPA or WPA2 method and shared key or else the network will not function properly.
Advanced Settings Network Mode - From the drop-down menu, select the wireless standards running on the network. If there are Wireless-B, Wireless-G and Wireless-N (2.4GHz) devices on the network, use the default setting, BGN-Mixed. If there are Wireless-B and Wireless-G devices on the network, select BG-Mixed. If there are only Wireless-B devices, select Wireless-B Only. If there are only Wireless-G devices, select Wireless-G Only. If there are only Wireless-N (2.

HTTP/HTTPS HTTP – (HyperText Transfer Protocol) - This protocol allows for TCP protocol quality without having to open specific ports for streaming. Users inside a firewall can utilize this protocol to allow streaming data through. HTTPS - (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) - This protocol allows authentication and encrypted communication over SSL (Secure Socket Layer). It helps protect streaming data transmission over the Internet on a higher security level than HTTP.
