some networking knowledge will be able to read the
data you transfer with proper tool.
NOTE: WPA encryption is safer than WEP, however,
some older wireless clients don’t support WPA
encryption.
WPA Pre-shared Please input the WPA pre-shared key here. Only
Key clients with the same pre-shared key you inputted
here will be able to connect to your computer. This
setting is only available when you select one of WPA
encryptions.
Group Rekey You can specify the time interval to re-issue the key
Interval to your wireless clients here. You can click the
button ’10 seconds’ or ‘Kpackets’ to change the unit
of time interval. (every 10 seconds or a thousand
data packets times the value you specified in ‘Group
Rekey Interval’ field)
Wep Key Please input the WEP encryption key here when you
#1 ~ #4 select ‘WEP’ as encryption type. There are 2 types
of WEP key: Hex (number 0 to 9, and ASCII
characters A to F) and ASCII (all alphanumerical
characters plus symbols). Please select the type of
WEP key first, and then input the WEP key
according to the type of WEP key you selected.
If you want to use WEP 64 bits encryption, please
input 10 characters if you select HEX, or input 5
characters if you select ASCII; If you want to use
WEP 128bits encryption, please input 26 characters
if you select HEX, or input 13 characters if you
select ASCII. 128 bits encryption is safer then 64
bits, but the data transfer speed will be slightly
reduced.
