The WEP Encryption type of station has to equal to the access point.
Check 'ASCII' field for characters WEP key or uncheck 'ASCII' field for Hexadecimal digits WEP key.
Hexadecimal digits don't need to proceed by '0x'.
For example,
64-bits with characters WEP key:
Key1= 2e3f4
Key2= 5y7js
Key3= 24fg7
Key4= 98jui
64-bits with hexadecimal digits WEP key:
Key1= 123456789A
Key2= 23456789AB
Key3= 3456789ABC
Key4= 456789ABCD

IEEE 802.1x

1. IEEE 802.1x Introduction
IEEE 802.1x port-based authentication is desired to prevent unauthorized devices (clients) from gaining
access to the network. As LANs extend to hotels, airports, and corporate lobbies, insecure environments
could be created. 802.1x port-based network access control makes use of the physical access
characteristics of IEEE 802 LAN infrastructures, such as 802.3 Ethernet, 802.11 Wireless LAN and
VDSL LRE (Long Reach Ethernet), in order to provide a means of authenticating and authorizing devices
attached to a LAN port that has point-to-point connection characteristics, and of preventing access to that
port in cases the authentication process fails.
