transfer with proper tool.
NOTE: WPA encryption is safer than WEP, however, some older wireless clients
don’t support WPA encryption.
WPA Pre-shared Key:
Please input the WPA pre-shared key here. Only clients with the same pre-shared key you
inputted here will be able to connect to your computer. This setting is only available when
you select one of WPA encryptions.
Group Rekey Interval:
You can specify the time interval to re-issue the key to your wireless clients here. You can
click the button ’10 seconds’ or ‘Kpackets’ to change the unit of time interval. (every 10
seconds or a thousand data packets times the value you specified in ‘Group Rekey Interval’
field)
Wep Key #1 ~ #4:
Please input the WEP encryption key here when you 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 bits, but the data transfer speed will be slightly reduced.
