1) WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and uses the RC4
encryption algorithm. Enabling WEP allows you to increase security by encryption data
being transferred over your wireless network. WEP is the oldest security algorithm, and
there are few applications that can decrypt the WEP key in less than 10 minutes.
Key Length: 64-bit/128-bit, by default it is 64-bit.
64-bit—For 64 bits WEP key, either 5 ASCII characters, such as 12345 (or 10
hexadecimal digitals leading by 0x, such as 0x414234445.)
128-bit—For 128 bits WEP key, either 13 ASCII characters, such as ABCDEFGHIJKLM
(or 26 hexadecimal digits leading by 0x, such as 0x4142434445464748494A4B4C4D).
Key Format: If you choose 64 bit, there will be two Key Formats selectable: ASCII (5
characters) and Hex (10 characters). If 128-bit, the Key Formats should comply with ASCII
(13 characters) or Hex (26 characters)
Encryption Key: Please refer to Key Length to set this parameter.
2) 802.1x Authentication
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is separated into two categories: WPA/PSK and
WPA/802.1x. If you choose 802.1x Authentication, you will have to provide the RADIUS
Server IP Address, Port and Password so that the encryption key will be obtained
dynamically from RADIUS server.
