Pre-Shared Key: There is one encryption for
Pre-Shared Key, TKIP. TKIP stands for Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol. TKIP utilizes a stronger encrytption method and incorporates
Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers.
To use Pre-Shared Key, enter a password in the Shared Key
field between 8 and 63 characters long. You may also enter a Group Key
Renewal Interval time between 0 and 99,999 seconds.
WEP: There are two levels of WEP encryption, 64-bit and
128-bit. The higher the encryption bit, the more secure your network,
however, speed is sacrificed at higher bit levels. To utilize WEP, select
the desired encryption bit, and enter a passphrase or a WEP key in
hexadecimal format.
