Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
is a less secure, but more widely adopted
wireless security protocol. Depending on the security level (64- or 128-bit), the
user will be asked to input a 10- or 26-character hex key. A hex key is a
combination of letters, a–f, and numbers, 0–9.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the new standard in the wireless security.
However, not all wireless cards and adapters support this technology. Please
check your wireless adapter’s user manual to check if it supports WPA. Instead
of a hex key, WPA uses only passphrases, which are much easier to remember.
