•128 (104) bit ASCII:

Uses 13 text characters. e.g.“Wirelesscomms” (this is case sensitive)

•128 (104) bit hexadecimal:

Uses 26 digits of hexadecimal data. e.g.“71f2234ab56cd709e5412aa2ba”

„WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK and TKIP or AES

Uses a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that is 8 or more characters in length, up to a maximum of 63 characters.
