1. WEP
WEP is a basic encryption method offering two levels of encryption, 64-bit and 128-bit encryption.
To configure the WEP encryption, there are two ways.

Keep the Network Authentication of Open (insecurity) and select Enabled from the WEP
Encryption drop-down list, as shown in Figure 4-76. Open (insecurity) with WEP encryption
disable allows any wireless station to associate with the access point.

Select Shared (good) from the Network Authentication drop-down list, as shown in Figure
4-77. Shared (good) must enable WEP encryption. Network using Open or Shared
authentication with WEP encryption only allows stations using the same network key
encryption to associate with it. Follow the instructions below to configure the Shared Keys.
