authentication method.
Open. All devices may access the wireless network when WEP Encryption is
disabled. When no authentication is required and if encryption is disabled,
then the data that is passing between the access point and the client is also
not encrypted. When WEP is enabled, the data is encrypted, but the client is
not authenticated.
Shared. Only devices configured with the 64-bit or 128-bit key may access the
wireless network.
