Setting Authentication
Open System authentication means that any station can gain access
to any Access Point or Wireless Router. Set Authentication to Open
where performance is the main issue and you have no need for
authentication.
Shared Key authentication provides more security than Open
System authentication. In a Shared Key system, your wireless
stations and your Wireless Router share a secret key that helps
prevent unauthorized users from accessing your Access Point or
Wireless Router.
Set your Wireless Router’s Security Authentication setting to Both
to allow Wireless devices with either authentication setting to
connect to your Wireless Router.
