DESCRIPTION
Security Level
Select
Basic
to enable WEP data encryption.
Generate
password
automatically
Select this option to have the Device automatically generate a password. The password
field will not be configurable when you select this option.
Password 1~4
The password (WEP key) is used to encrypt data. Both the Device and the wireless
stations must use the same password (WEP key) for data transmission.
If you chose
64-bit
WEP, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal
characters ("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose
128-bit
WEP, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal characters
("0-9", "A-F").
WEP Encryption
Select
64-bits
or
128-bits
.
This dictates the length of the security key that the network is going to use.
6.2.3 More Secure (WPA2-PSK)
The WPA2-PSK security mode provides both improved data encryption and user authentication
over WEP. Using a Pre-Shared Key (PSK), both the Device and the connecting client share a common
password in order to validate the connection. This type of encryption, while robust, is not as strong
as WPA2.
