5. Wireless Mode: Choose B/G Mixed, B only, G only, and N only, G/N Mixed or

6. Authentication mode: You may select from nine kinds of authentication to
secure your wireless network: Open, Shared, Auto, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK,
and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK.
Open
Open system authentication simply consists of two communications. The first
is an authentication request by the client that contains the station ID (typically
the MAC address). This is followed by an authentication response from the
AP/router containing a success or failure message. An example of when a
failure may occur is if the client's MAC address is explicitly excluded in the
AP/router configuration.
Shared
Shared key authentication relies on the fact that both stations taking part in
the authentication process have the same "shared" key or passphrase. The
shared key is manually set on both the client station and the AP/router. Three
types of shared key authentication are available today for home or small
office WLAN environments.
Auto
The AP will Select the Open or Shared by the client‟s request automatically.
