Figure 3-4. Authentication and Security
Authentication Type: Before a station connects to a SSID, the authentication type used
by the SSID must be known. Authentication types include OPEN SYSTEM, WPA,
WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK, LEAP and SHARED.
Encryption: To prevent unauthorized access to data transmitted on the network, the
Adapter and the Access Point agree on a type of data encryption. Any station that wishes
to connect must have the same password and encryption scheme to connect. Different
authentication types have different level of security. (Default: TKIP)
WEP encryption: Select one of the four keys as the default encrypted key.
To setup WEP, you will need to set a ASCII or HEX key to connect to Access Point. The
WEP Key can only be saved through the setting of profile.

Making HEX keys:
64-bit - Generated as 10 alphanumeric characters (0-9, a-f) (example: 843c29a562)
128bit - Generated as 26 alphanumeric characters (0-9, a-f) (example:
3c29f2536bef3276d32e364a2c)
Note: Using a Hex key is more secure than using an ASCII key, and if you are connecting
to a GIGABYTE Router or Access Point, ASCII keys are not allowed and you must use a
Hex key.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK encryption: WPA-PSK/ WPA2-PSK (Preshared Key) uses TKIP
or AES based on your choice. You create a password (or Passphrase as its often called)
