There three common encryption type in WiFi connection. The first one is “OPEN”, which means there is no password needed to connect to this network. The second type of encryption is WPA, which requires the correct password to access. The third type is WEP, which requires a hexadecimal password and a keyindex.

Details

BW16 is a dual-frequency Wi-Fi + Bluetooth SoC module developed based on RTL8720DN.It
supports dual-frequency (2.4GHz or 5GHz) WLAN and low power Bluetooth 5.0; and integratesARMV8 (Cortex-M4F) high performance MCU, ARM V8M (Cortex-M0) lowpower MCU, WLAN (802.11 a / b / g / n), MAC, Bluetooth and RF baseband, and provides a set of
configurable GPIO ports for the control of different peripherals.
