This allows any wireless station to access the router without
asking a shared secret key. But the wireless station can
communicate only if its WEP key matches with the routers.
Shared Key:
This works only if the WEP key option is turned ON.
It requires a wireless station providing a shared key to be
authenticated by the router. If the shared key is correct, the
wireless station will be able to access the router.
