Key 1 - Key 4: (Applicable only to Static WEP security mode) For each key, enter
hexadecimal characters. Valid hexadecimal characters are 0 to 9, a to f, and A to F
(the string of characters is not case sensitive):
• If you selected 64 Bits as the Key length, enter 10 hexadecimal characters.
• If you selected 128 Bits as the Key length, enter 26 hexadecimal characters.
• If you selected 152 Bits as the Key length, enter 32 hexadecimal characters.
Network Key: (Applicable only to WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK with TKIP or AES
security modes) Enter a network key from 8-32 characters (case sensitive). The
network key is used as a master key to automatically generate keys that encrypt
outgoing data and decrypt incoming data. The network key must be the same for all
wireless devices connected to a network using WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK security.
NOTE: The network key is also referred to as a pre-shared key (PSK) or
passphrase.

Frag. Threshold (byte): In the text box, enter the maximum number of bytes a data
packet must be before breaking into smaller pieces (fragmenting) and transmitting
over the network. The default setting is 2346.
NOTE: The recommended setting is 2346 bytes (default). A smaller setting creates
smaller packets and therefore more packets for each transmission. In areas, however,
where wireless communication is poor or a great deal of radio interference occurs,
you may lower the setting to about 500 bytes.
NOTE: Whenever you change the default setting, it is recommended that you
perform range and reconnection testing.
RTS Threshold (byte): In the text box, enter the maximum number of bytes a data
packet must be before the access point can issue a request to send (RTS). The default
setting is 2346.
