The WEP key is for 64-bit encrypted networks
or 128-bit encrypted networks and can contain
both numbers and letters. If you do not know
this information you should see the
documentation provided with your access point
or wireless router. This key is a 64-bit or 128-bit
value that must be entered in an ASCII or
HEXADECIMAL format.
For example:
WPA/WPA2-PSK is a Wi-Fi® Protected Access
Pre-shared key, which lets the Brother wireless
machine associate with access points using
TKIP or AES encryption (WPA-Personal).
WPA/WPA2-PSK (TKIP or AES) uses a Pre-
Shared Key (PSK) that is 8 or more characters
in length, up to a maximum of 63 characters.
See the Network User’s Guide for more details.
