Key Length You can select the 64-bit or 128-bit key to encrypt
transmitted data. Larger WEP key length will provide higher
level of security, but the throughput will be lower. You also
can select Disable to transmit data without encryption.
Key Format 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. For example:
ASCII Characters: guest
Hexadecimal Digits: 12345abcde

“0-9” 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
“0-9” range) or 13-digit ASCII characters as the encryption

2.4.3.4 WPA Pre-shared 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 to change the encryption key frequently. This can improve security very
much.
