secret key. WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, and WPA1/WPA2:
WPA-PSK offers two encryption methods, TKIP and AES. Select the type of algorithm, TKIP or
AES and then enter a WPA Shared Key of 8~64 characters in the WPA Pre-shared key field.]
Encryption Type: For Open & Shared authentication mode, the selection of encryption type
are None and WEP. For WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK authentication mode, the
encryption type supports both TKIP and AES.
WPA Pre-shared Key: This is the shared secret between AP and STA, For WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK authentication mode, this field must be filled with character longer than 8 and less
then 64 lengths.
WEP Key: Only valid when using WEP encryption algorithm. The key must match with the
AP’s Key. There are several formats to enter the keys.
-- Hexadecimal (128bits): 26 Hex characters (0-9, a-f)
-- ASCII (128bits): 13 ASCII characters.
WPA Algorithms: Select TKIP, AES, TKIP/AES for the WPA Algorithms.
