• WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• WEP (Wred Equvalent Prvacy)
What is WEP?
WEP stands for Wred Equvalent Prvacy. It s based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and uses the RC4 encrypton
algorthm. WEP provdes securty by encryptng data over your wreless network so that t s protected as t s transmtted
from one wreless devce to another.
To gan access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key s a strng of characters that you create. When
usng WEP, you must determne the level of encrypton. The type of encrypton determnes the key length. 128-bt
encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal
- usng characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (Amercan Standard Code for Informaton Interchange – alphanumerc characters)
format. ASCII format s provded so you can enter a strng that s easer to remember. The ASCII strng s converted to
HEX for use over the network. Four keys can be defined so that you can change keys easily.
