Super Modem III User’s Manual 3.2.2.2 WEPAUTO(WEP) Mode WEP is a method of encrypting data for wireless communication intended to provide the same level of privacy as a wired network. WEP is not as secure as WPA encryption. To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When using WEP, you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption.
Super Modem III User’s Manual WEP Keys: Select “ASCII” or “Hex” from the pull-down list to set up the key value. ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a code for representing char as numbers from 0-127. Hexadecimal digits consist of the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F (a-f).
Super Modem III User’s Manual 3.2.2.3 WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK Mode WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is the older standard; select this option if the clients that will be used with the router only support the older standard. WPA2 is the newer implementation of the stronger IEEE 802.11i security standard.
Super Modem III User’s Manual Key Renewal Interval: Enter a value to set up the WPA key renewal interval. The device regenerates the key in every interval seconds that you have setup without disconnection. The WPA Algorithm will regroup the key for a period.
