Connecting To A Secure Wi-Fi Network; Troubleshooting - Belkin F9L1106 User Manual

Connecting to a Secure Wi-Fi® Network
If you choose to connect to a secure network, determine the type of security
(WPA/WPA2 or WEP) and use the appropriate field in the dialog box.
Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a less secure, but more widely adopted
wireless security protocol. Depending on the security level (64- or 128-bit), the
user will be asked to input a 10- or 26-character hex key. A hex key is a
combination of letters, a–f, and numbers, 0–9.
Wi-Fi Protected Access® (WPA®/WPA2®) is the new standard in wireless
security. Instead of a hex key, WPA/WPA2 uses only passphrases, which are
much easier to remember. The passphrase is 8–63 characters and can consist of
alphabet letters and numbers.
