with older and newer Wi-Fi devices, and is recommended only if any of your devices don't
support WPA or WPA2.
Open WEP uses the key for encryption, but not for authentication.
WEP 64 Bit – Shared: This option provides security, but it's relatively weak. This option
l
works with older and newer Wi-Fi devices, and is recommended only if any of your devices
don't support WPA or WPA2.
Shared WEP uses the same key for encryption and authentication; some consider shared
WEP to be less secure than open WEP.
WEP 128 Bit – Open: This option provides security, but it's relatively weak (but stronger
l
than WEP 64 Bit – Open). This option works with older and newer Wi-Fi devices, and is
recommended only if any of your devices don't support WPA or WPA2.

Shared WEP uses the same key for encryption and authentication; some consider shared
WEP to be less secure than open WEP.
