First select whether you want to use
64
bit or 128 bit encryption
. The latter offers
greater security. Next, enter ox and your
Security key
(you can use characters
ranging from 0-9 and a-f). The length of the
key is limited to 10 letters/numbers for the
64 bit encryption, and 26 letters/numbers
for the 128 bit encryption.
You can preset up to four keys in the
Key #1
to #4
fi elds. Select
Key #1
, for example, and
enter your key of choice with the required
length.
Examples:
64 bit Hex (10 characters) = 0x231074a6ef
128 bit Hex (26 characters) = 0x231074a6b9773ce43f91a5bef3

4.2 WPA and WPA2 encryption:
Wi-Fi Protected Access (
WPA
) is an encryption method for WLAN. WPA contains the WEP architecture, but offers
additional protection using dynamic codes that are based on the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (
TKIP
). WPA
also offers pre-shared keys (PSK) for user authentication. WPA2 is a development of WPA and uses a different
encryption algorithm, the Advanced Encryption Standard (
AES
).
Choose between
WPA-PSK
and
WPA2-PSK
in the
Authentication Type
fi eld.
Next, enter the “
Pre-Shared Key
” (PSK).
The key must be between 8 and 63 random
characters; letters (A-Z), numbers and
punctuation marks are permitted. Any client
wanting to access the access point must
know this character string.
