WEP Encryption
Traditional WEP encryption is applied when “Open or Shared Key”, “Shared
Key” or “Radius with 802.1x” authentication methods are selected.
WL500g/WL500g Deluxe:
When “WPA” or “WPA-PSK” authentica-
tion methods are selected, you still can set WEP encryption for
those clients that do not support WPA/WPA-PSK. Please note that
Key Index for WEP key is limited to 2 or 3 when both WPA and WEP
encryption are supported at the same time.
64/128-bit versus 40/104-bit
