    Encryption Mode ”None” means do not encrypt wireless data. There are two basic levels of WEP encryption, 64 bits and 128 bits, the more bits password have, the better security wireless network is, at the same time the speed of wireless is more slower. If you select WEP to encrypt your data, choose the bits of password, it should be 64 bits or 128 bits.
