Description

 

You can select the 64 or 128-bit key to encrypt transmitted data. Larger

Key Length

WEP key length will provide higher level of security, but the throughput

 

will be lower.

 

 

 

You may select to select ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format) or

Key Format

Hexadecimal Digits (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” range) to be the WEP

 

Key.

 

 

Default Tx Key

Select one of the four keys to encrypt your data. Only the key you select

it in the “Default key” will take effect.

 

 

 

 

The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless

 

network. Fill the text box by following the rules below.

Encryption Key 1 - Key 4

64-bit WEP: input 10-digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9”

range) or 5-digit ASCII character as the encryption keys.

 

 

128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9”

 

range) or 10-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys.

 

 

After configuration complete, please click “Apply” button to save the configuration. Then you will see a screen to prompt you the settings are saving successfully. You may press “Continue” for configure other settings or “Apply” to restart WNRT-620 with new configuration.

6.7.2WPA-PSK

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to change the encryption key frequently. So the encryption key is not easy to be broken by hackers. This can improve security very much.
