WEP Encryption

7.2.3 More Secure (WPA(2)-PSK)

The WPA-PSK security mode provides both improved data encryption and user authentication over
WEP. Using a Pre-Shared Key (PSK), both the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries and the connecting
client share a common password in order to validate the connection. This type of encryption, while
robust, is not as strong as WPA, WPA2 or even WPA2-PSK. The WPA2-PSK security mode is a
newer, more robust version of the WPA encryption standard. It offers slightly better security,
although the use of PSK makes it less robust than it could be.

DESCRIPTION
Select Basic to enable WEP data encryption.
Select this option to have the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries automatically generate a
password. The password field will not be configurable when you select this option.
The password (WEP key) are used to encrypt data. Both the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries
and the wireless stations must use the same password (WEP key) for data transmission.
If you chose 64-bit WEP, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal characters
("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose 128-bit WEP, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal characters
("0-9", "A-F").
Select 64-bits or 128-bits.
This dictates the length of the security key that the network is going to use.
