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). WPA2-PSK (AES) and WPA-PSK (TKIP/AES) uses a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that is 8 or more characters in length, up to a maximum of 63 characters.

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.

64-bit Hexadecimal:

Uses 10 digits of hexadecimal data e.g. “71f2234aba”

 

128-bit ASCII:

Uses 13 text characters e.g.

 

 

“Wirelesscomms” (this is case sensitive)

 

128-bit Hexadecimal:

Uses 26 digits of hexadecimal data

 

 

e.g.“71f2234ab56cd709e5412aa3ba”

 

This is supported for WPA-PSK only.
