 Authentication：There are several kinds of authentication types：Open System, Shared
Key, WPA, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, WPA/WPA2.
 Encryption：There are five types of encryption settings, please set the key depending on
the real environment. According to the type and length, there are four Key types:
 64-bit – Enter 10-digit Hex values or 5-digit ASCII values as the encryption keys. For
example: “0123456aef” or “Guest.”
 128-bit – Enter 26-digit Hex values or 13-digit ASCII values as the encryption keys.
For example: “01234567890123456789abcdef” or “administrator.”
 TKIP – It is short for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP scrambles the key
using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that
the keys haven’t been tampered with.
 AES – Short for Advanced Encryption Standard, a symmetric 128-bit block data
encryption technique. It works at multiple network layers simultaneously and has a
fixed block size of 128-bits and a key size of 128, 192, or 256-bits.
 TKIP/AES – A mix use of both TKIP and AES encryption.
 Pass Phrase：It’s also named Shared Secret which is used only when enabling WPA-PSK
authentication. A passphrase is a string of characters longer than the usual password
(which is typically from four to 16 characters long) that is used in creating a digital
signature (an encoded signature that proves to someone that it was really you who sent a
message) or in an encryption or a decryption of a message. It is applicable only when you
select WPA-PSK authentication. You will need to enter an 8~63 characters password to
start the encryption process, which will generate four WEP keys automatically.
 Default Key：You can enter four WEP keys and select one of them as default key. Then the
router can receive any packets encrypted by one of the four keys. Only the key you select
it in the "Default key" will take effect.
 WEP Key 1~4：The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless
