Key Type

Encryption Key

Passphrase input is not the same as ASCII input. The passphrase input is safer because it has up to 63 characters. ASCII input has a maximum of 5 (WEP64) or 13 (WEP128) characters and limits the number of key combinations.

TX Key index selects the WEP key used for transmissions. Enter a value between 1 and 4. The default setting is 1. In case the WEP key is entered in hex, all keys (1-4) are the same. In case the WEP key is entered as a passphrase, the four WEP keys are generated according to the Linksys algorithms and will be different.

WPA

This firmware version allows only Pre-Shared Keys (PSK) for authentication.

Select Y (Yes) at the Display current key prompt to show the currently configured key/passphrase,

Select Y (Yes) at the Change key prompt to be able to modify the currently configured key by selecting Y (Yes).

The Key type requests whether the new key is in hexadecimal or passphrase format. The default setting is Passphrase.
