WEP security settings

Select WEP as the WLAN security mode.
The wired equivalent privacy (WEP) encryption method
encrypts data before it is transmitted. Access to the
network is denied to users who do not have the
required WEP keys. When the WEP security mode is in
use, and your device receives a data packet not
encrypted with the WEP keys, the data is discarded.
In an ad-hoc network, all devices must use the same
WEP key.
