- Network Authentication
For additional security on the wireless network, the Authentication type
can also be set when Encryption is enabled.
If <Shared> is chosen, the Access Point will not be available on the
wireless network except to those wireless clients that share the same
WEP (short for Wired Equivalent Privacy) key.
If <Open> System is chosen, only those wireless clients with the same
WEP key will be able to communicate on the wireless network, but the
Access Point will be visible to all devices on the network.
NOTE:
Wired Equivalent Privacy is a security protocol for
WLANs defined in the 802.11b standard. WEP aims to provide
security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it is
protected when the data is transmitting from one end point to
another.
