The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Table 11   Wireless > General: Basic (Static WEP/Shared WEP) 

Security Level

Select Basic to enable WEP data encryption.

Generate 

password 

automatically 

Select this option to have the Device automatically generate a password. The password 

field will not be configurable when you select this option.

Password 1~4

The password (WEP key) is used to encrypt data. Both the Device and the wireless 

stations must use the same password (WEP key) for data transmission.
If you chose 64-bit WEP, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal 

characters ("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose 128-bit WEP, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal characters 

("0-9", "A-F"). 

WEP Encryption

Select 64-bits or 128-bits.
This dictates the length of the security key that the network is going to use.

The WPA2-PSK security mode provides both improved data encryption and user authentication 

over WEP. Using a Pre-Shared Key (PSK), both the Device and the connecting client share a common 

password in order to validate the connection. This type of encryption, while robust, is not as strong 

as WPA2. 

Click Network Settings > Wireless to display the General screen. Select More Secure as the 

security level. Then select WPA2-PSK from the Security Mode list.
