thentication in the WLAN, i.e. the handset can only log in to the
WLAN if it passes the correct key.
Click on the option

Open System if the WEP key is only used for data

encryption and not for authentication.

WPA

WPA can only be set via the Admin menu.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) offers security through encryption with
dynamic keys. The dynamic keys are exchanged using the authentication
protocol EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) when a connection/
session is established. WPA therefore also requires authentication with EAP.
You need to make the necessary settings in the Authentication

section.

– Encryption Type

The

TKIP method of encryption is set.
