Authentication Type: There are two authentication types: "Open System" and
Key Length: You can select the WEP key length for encryption, 64-bit or 128-bit.
The larger the key will be the higher level of security is used, but
the throughput will be lower.
Key Type: You may select ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format) or
Hexadecimal Digits (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) to be the
WEP Key.
Default Key: It's the key used to encrypt data.
Key1 - Key4: The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless
network. Use the following rules to setup a WEP key on the device.
64-bit WEP:
128-bit WEP:

WPA Pre-Shared Key Encryption
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 cracked by hackers. This is
the best security available.
"Shared Key". Both AP and wireless client must be
configured with the same authentication type.
input 10-digits Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range)
or 5-digit ASCII character as the encryption keys.
input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range)
or 13-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys.
