• Use of Passphrases and Keys are explained below:
– Passphrase. To use the Passphrase to generate the WEP keys, enter a passphrase and
click the Generate Keys button. You can also enter the keys directly. These keys must
match the other wireless stations.
– Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, Key 4. If using WEP, select the key to be used as the default

No encryption is used.
Can be used with WEP encryption or no encryption.
Standard WEP encryption, using 40/64 bit encryption.
Standard WEP encryption, using 104/128 bit encryption.
Proprietary mode that will only work with other wireless devices that support
this mode.
This is the standard encryption method used with WPA and WPA2.
This is the standard encryption method for WPA2.
This setting supports both WPA and WPA2. Broadcast packets use TKIP. For
unicast (point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2
clients use AES.
