Select “WEP” for the “Encryption” mode if you wish to use WEP to encrypt your wireless
network.

pop up a warning message: IEEE802.11n standard only accepts AES encryption. If you choose
other option, the data rate will drop to 54Mbps (G Mode). Please be aware that if you wish to
run the router at 11N speed (300Mbps), you must use WPA or WPA2 AES encryption.
