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

2) WPA/WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the most dominating security mechanism in industry.
It is separated into two categories: WPA-personal and WPA-Enterprise, it is the current
most secure method of wireless security and required for 802.11n performance.
TKIP--Temporal Key Integrity Protocol is one cipher for data encryption supported by WPA.
AES--Advanced Encryption Standard is another cipher for data encryption supported by
WPA.
Pre-Shared Key Format/Pre-Shared Key: This is a pre-defined key used for encryption
during data transmission. It has two formats: Passphrase and Hex (64 characters). Then
you need to enter the Pre-Shared Key, either 8~63 ASCII characters, such as 012345678
(or 64 Hexadecimal digits leading by 0x, such as “0x321253abcde…”).
3) WPA Mixed
This option mixes WPA/WPA2 together. It will provide the best security for your router.
