encryption. There are 2 methods for entering the KEY; one is to
enter a 16-bit HEX digit. Using this method, users must enter a
10-digit number (for 64-bit) or 26-digit number (for 128-bit) in the
KEY field. Users must select the same key number for all
devices. The other method is to enter a text and let the computer
generate the WEP key for you. However, since each product use
different method for key generation, it might not work for
different products. Therefore, it is NOT recommended using.
WPA/WPA2
A security protocol for wireless networks that builds on the basic
foundations of WEP. It secures wireless data transmission by
using a key similar to WEP, but the added strength of WPA is that
the key changes dynamically. The changing key makes it much
more difficult for a hacker to learn the key and gain access to the
network.WPA2 is the second generation of WPA security and
provides a stronger encryption mechanism through Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES), which is a requirement for some
government users.
