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