WMM: The short of Wi-Fi MultiMedia, it will enhance the data transfer performance of multimedia contents when they're being transferred over wireless network. If you don't know what it is / not sure if you need it, it's safe to set this option to "Enable", however, default value is "Disable".

For example, if you select "64-bit" as key length, and "Hex" as key format, you'll see the message at the right of "Key Format" is "Hex (10 characters), which means the length of WEP key is 10 characters.
