Authentication Type
Encryption Type
Allows you to select between “None”, “Open System”, “Shared Key”,
and “WPA-PSK”.
Select the type of encryption that your wireless network is using. If
you are unsure about the type of encryption your wireless network is
using, you can refer to your router’s or gateway’s settings for details.
WPA Pre-Shared Key
Key Length
If your wireless network uses WPA encryption, type in your WPA key
in this field.
You may select either the 64-bit or 128-bit option to encrypt
transmitted data. A larger key length will provide a higher level of
security, but the throughput will be lower.
Key Format Hexadecimal: You can only use the following characters to set the
WEP key in this format: “A-F“, “a-f“ and “0-9“.
ASCII: Numerical values, characters or signs are acceptable for this
WEP key format. This is usually the easier option for most users.
Default Key Select one of the keys (1 - 4) as the encryption key.
Key1 - Key4 WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted over the wireless
network.
Fill in the text boxes by following rules below.
64-bit: Input a 10-character Hex key (using “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9”) or
a 5-character ASCII key (using “a-z” and “0-9”). For example:
“0123456aef” (Hex) or “test1” (ASCII).
128-bit: Input a 26-character Hex key (using “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9”) or
a 13-character ASCII key (using “a-z” and “0-9”). For example:
“01234567890123456789abcdef” (Hex) or “administrator” (ASCII).
