WEP Encryption
If you don’t have WPA(2)-aware wireless clients, then use
WEP key encrypting. A higher bit key offers better security.
WEP encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the
wireless stations and the DDW3612 Wireless Cable Modem
Gateway to keep network communications private. It encrypts
unicast and multicast communications in a network. Both the
wireless stations and the DDW3612 Wireless Cable Modem
Gateway must use the same WEP key. Data Encryption can
be set to WEP
128-bit, 64-bit,
or
Disable.
Shared Key Authentication
Shared Key is an authentication method used by wireless
LANs, which follow the IEEE 802.11 standard. Wireless
devices authenticate each other by using a secret key
that is kept by both devices.

Gateway authenticate wireless clients.
