Security Select Wi-Fi Setting→Security, the Security parameters are shown in the following figure: Unless one of these encryption modes is selected, wireless transmissions to and from your wireless network can be easily intercepted and interpreted by unauthorized users. The security modes are described below:  OPEN: You can authenticate successfully with a SSID, whether it is valid or empty.  SHARED: The WLAN clients who have the same WEP key with wireless gateway can pass the authentication and access the wireless network.  WPA-PSK: WPA Pre-Shared Key, Enter the Pre-Shared key as a plain text (ASCII) pass-phrase of at least 8 characters.  WPA2-PSK: It is the securer version of WPA with implementation of the 802.11i standard.
52  WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK: Apply both the WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK scheme.  WEP Keys: At most four keys can be set in the blank. Choose the primary key index. The primary key is the only key in use at a given time. Whatever keys you enter for an access point, you must also enter the same keys for the client adapter in the same order. In other words, WEP key 1 on the AP must match WEP key 1 on the client adapter, WEP key 2 on the AP must match WEP key 2 on the client adapter, etc. A WEP is either 10 or 26 hexadecimal digits (0~9,a~f and A~F)based on whether you select 64 bits or 128 bits in the Encryption Strength drop-down list. If the Authentication type is OPEN, SHARED, the bottom part of the configuration page displays parameters as shown. If the Authentication type is WPA-PSK , WPA2-PSK or WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK , the bottom part of the configuration page displays WPA parameters.
