Shared Key Security

(WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy): Select this option for a moderate level of security.

Phrase/Key: Enter a security phrase. If you choose the Hex Key Format (see below), you must use hexa- decimal digits (0-9, a-f). If you choose the ASCII Key Format you can use letters, numbers, spaces, and punctuation marks. For the ASCII Key Format you must enter five characters for 64-bit, 13 characters for 128-bit or 16 characters for 152-bit encryption. Whichever format you use, the security phrase you enter must be shared by all wireless devices on the network. You can create up to four different security phrases, for different wireless networks. Remember that security phrases are case sensitive (i.e., “cat” and “Cat” are not the same).

Key Format: Choose ASCII or hexadecimal format. If you choose ASCII, you can use names that you know and can easily remember.

Length: Use the drop-down menu to choose a key length (64, 128 or 152-bit). The higher the number, the slower but more secure your system will be.

If you change any setting above, click the Apply button.
