longer the password will ensure a more secure data transmit, but
will also slow down the transferring speed.

“a”~”f”; and “0”~”9”); you can enter 5 digits of character
or numerical numbers.
„ 128 bits: you can enter 26 digits under HEX (“A”~”F”;
“a”~”f”; and “0”~”9”); you can enter 10 digits of
character or numerical numbers.

character for HEX format should be numbers from 0 to 9 or letters
from A to F. HEX doesn't support mixed letter and number mode.

WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a deprecated algorithm to secure IEEE 802.11 wireless
networks. Wireless networks broadcast messages using radio and are thus more susceptible to
eavesdropping than wired networks. However, there are hacking programs able to crack the WEP
encryption within minutes. Therefore, we strongly suggest you to select WPA or WPA2 security
