Authentication
There are two authentication types: "Open System" and
"Shared Key". When you select "Open System", wireless
stations can associate with this wireless router without
WEP encryption. When you select "Shared Key", you
should also setup WEP key in the "Security" page and
wireless stations should use WEP encryption in the
authentication phase to associate with this wireless
router. If you select "Auto", the wireless client can
associate with this wireless router by using any one of
these two authentication types.

You can select the WEP key length for encryption, 64-bit
or 128-bit. Larger WEP key length will provide higher
level of security, but the throughput will be lower.

(alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal Digits (in the "A-
F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) to be the WEP Key.
