3.3.4 Encryption
You may desire an additional measure of security in your wireless network, which can be achieved
by using the Encryption function.
WEP Key to use:
You can choose one of the four Keys you typed (Key1~Key4) as the WEP Key.
WEP Mode:
If you set the Mode to Optional, your device can communicate with the stations with disabled WEP.
Otherwise, if you set Mode to Mandatory, then your device cannot communicate with the stations
with disabled WEP.
Authentication Type:
Open System Authentication algorithm is mostly used. In Shard Key Authentication algorithm, you
must have WEP on, the algorithm should be different, and some steps use packets with encryption
by transferring a challenge text. In order to choose which authentication algorithm will be used, you
must know which one the AP supports first. Most APs only support Open System.

Caution: WEP Key needs to be the same for all IEEE802.11b stations.
