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:
