WEP configuration
WEP is the wireless encryption standard. To use it you must enter the same key(s) into the access point and all stations that associate to it. For 64 bit keys you must enter 10 hex digits into each key box. For 128 bit keys you must enter 26 hex digits into each key box. A hex digit is either a number from 0 to 9 or a letter from A to F. If you leave a key box blank then this means a key of all zeros.
Enable WEP
Check this box to enable WEP. For the most secure use of WEP, also set the authentication type to "Shared Key" when WEP is enabled
Default WEP key to use
WEP Key 1
WEP Key 2
WEP Key 3

Select the key to be used as the default key. Data transmissions are always encrypted using the default key. The other keys can only be used to decrypt received data.
Authentication
Open
Shared Key
Select the type of authentication used when connecting to stations. 'Open' is used if anyone can connect to this device. 'Shared key' is used if both devices must know the encryption key.
