Mixed WEP

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), a basic encryption method, usually

encrypts wireless data using a series of digital keys (64 bits or 128 bits in

length). By using the same keys on each of your wireless network

devices, you can prevent unauthorized wireless devices from monitoring

your transmissions or using your wireless resources. WEP is based on

RSA algorithm from RC4. It is the original and weak encryption method,

so it is recommended not to use this method. Select Mixed WEP to enter

the following window:
