some older wireless clients don’t support WPA
encryption.

data packets times the value you specified in ‘Group
Rekey Interval’ field)
Wep Key
Please input the WEP encryption key here when you
#1 ~ #4
select ‘WEP’ as encryption type. There are 2 types
of WEP key: Hex (number 0 to 9, and ASCII
characters A to F) and ASCII (all alphanumerical
characters plus symbols). Please select the type of
WEP key first, and then input the WEP key
according to the type of WEP key you selected.
If you want to use WEP 64 bits encryption, please
input 10 characters if you select HEX, or input 5
characters if you select ASCII; If you want to use
WEP 128bits encryption, please input 26 characters
if you select HEX, or input 13 characters if you
select ASCII. 128 bits encryption is safer then 64
