LABEL DESCRIPTION

sic to enable WEP data encryption.
Generate
password
automatically
Select this option to have the Device automatically generate a password. The password
field will not be configurable when you select this option.
Password 1~4 The password (WEP key) is used to encrypt d
ata. Both the Device and the wireless
stations must use the same password (WEP key) for data transmission.
If you chose 64
-bit WEP, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal
characters ("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose 12
8-bit WEP, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal characters
("0-9", "A-F").
WEP Encryption Select 64
-bits or 128-bits.
This dictates the length of the security key that the network is going to use.
6.2.3 More Secure (WPA2-PSK)
The WPA2-PSK security mode provides both improved data encryption and user authentication
over WEP. Using a Pre-Shared Key (PSK), both the Device and the connecting client share a common
password in order to validate the connection. This type of encryption, while robust, is not as strong
as WPA2.
Click Network
Settings > Wireless to display the General screen. Select More Secure as the
security level. Then select WPA2-PSK from the Security Mode list.
