128-bit hexadecimal keys are exactly 26 characters in length.
(456FBCDF123400122225271730 is a valid string of 26 characters for 128-bit encryption.)
64-bit ASCII keys are up to 5 characters in length (DMODE is a valid string of 5 characters for
64-bit encryption.)
128-bit ASCII keys are up to 13 characters in length (2002HALOSWIN1 is a valid string of 13
characters for 128-bit encryption.)
Note that, if you enter fewer characters in the WEP key than required, the remainder of the
key is automatically padded with zeros.
WPA-Personal and WPA-Enterprise
Both of these options select some variant of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) -- security
standards published by the Wi-Fi Alliance. The WPA Mode further refines the variant that
the Access Point should employ.
WPA Mode: WPA is the older standard; select this option if the clients that will be used with
the Access Point only support the older standard. WPA2 is the newer implementation of the
stronger IEEE 802.11i security standard. With the "WPA or WPA2" option, the Access Point
tries WPA2 first, but falls back to WPA if the client only supports WPA. The strongest cipher
that the client supports will be used. With the "WPA2 Only" option, the Access Point
associates only with clients that also support WPA2 security. The AES cipher will be used
across the wireless network to ensure best security.
Group Key Update Interval: The amount of time before the group key used for broadcast
and multicast data is changed.
WPA-Personal
This option uses Wi-Fi Protected Access with a Pre-Shared Key (PSK).
Pre-Shared Key: The key is entered as a pass-phrase of up to 63 alphanumeric characters
in ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) format at both ends of the
wireless connection. It cannot be shorter than eight characters, although for proper security it
needs to be of ample length and should not be a commonly known phrase. This phrase is
used to generate session keys that are unique for each wireless client.
