If you are using 64-bit (40-bit), then each key must consist of exactly 10 hexadecimal characters or 5 ASCII characters. For 128-bit, each key must consist of exactly 26 hexadecimal characters. Valid hexadecimal characters are “0”-”9” and “A”-”F”.

ASCII/HEX: ASCII, the keys is 5 bit ASCII characters/13bit ASCII characters. HEX, the keys is 10bit/26 bit hex digits.

Passphrase: The letters and numbers used to generate a key.

Key1-Key4: Manually fill out or generated according to input the pass phrase.

WPA Personal/WPA2 Personal/WPA2 Person Mixed:TKIP/AES/TKIP+AES, dynamic encryption keys. TKIP + AES, self-applicable TKIP or AES. WPA Person Mixed, allow WPA Personal and WPA2 Personal client mix.
