3.5.1 WEP

When you select 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key, you have to enter WEP keys to encrypt data. You

can enter four WEP keys and select one of them as default key. Then the access point will only

allow the clients configured with the same encryption keys for association. You can use WEP

encryption in “AP mode”, “Station-Ad Hoc mode”, “Station-Infrastructure mode”, “AP

Bridge-WDS mode” and “Universal Repeater mode”.

If you would like to enable 802.1x Authentication also, please check the “Enable 802.1x

Authentication” and refer to section 3.4.2 for the detail settings.
