• 128-bit — uses twenty-six hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F)
5. You can manually or automatically program the four data encryption keys. These values must
be identical on all computers and Access Points in your network.
• Automatic — enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and click
the Generate button. The passphrase is case sensitive; NETGEAR is not the same as
nETgear. The four key boxes are automatically populated with key values.

entries are not case sensitive; AA is the same as aa. Select which of the four keys will be
