About Network Password

"Network password" is an encryption key you will need to enter when data encryption is enabled on the selected access point.
When WEP is enabled on the access point, the "Network password" is usually referred to as the WEP key. When WPA/WPA2 is enabled on the access point, the "Network key" is usually referred to as the Pre-shared Key (PSK) or the passphrase.

When "WEP" is displayed for [Encryption] of the selected access point, WEP is enabled on the access point.
Enter the WEP key set for the access point, in the same format and length.
To set a 64-bit WEP key, enter 5 single-byte alphanumeric characters or 10 hexadecimal digits. To set a 128-bit WEP key, enter 13 single-byte alphanumeric characters or 26 hexadecimal digits.
The key number and authentication type will automatically be set to [1] and [Auto] respectively.
The key length and format are automatically determined by the entered key.

When "WPA", "WPA2", or "WPA/WPA2" is displayed for [Encryption] of the selected access point, enter the passphrase (Pre-shared Key) set for the access point with 8 to 63 single-byte alphanumeric characters/symbols or 64 hexadecimal digits.

Important

  • The name of the network password may vary depending on the access point or application you use.

Note

  • The format and length of the network password must match those set for the access point.
