. Standard WEP encryption, using
104/128-bit encryption.
•
152-bit WEP
. Proprietary WEP encryption mode, using
128+24 bit encryption. This mode functions only with
other access points that support this mode.
To configure WEP:
1. In the passphrase field, enter a passphrase.
2.
Click Generate

The key is generated and placed in the WEP Key field.
WPA-PSK
TKIP
(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is the standard
encryption method used with WPA-PSK and the only
selection possible from the Data Encryption drop-down
menu.
In the WPA Passphrase (Network Key) field, enter a
passphrase. The passphrase length needs to be between
8
and 63 characters (inclusive).
