is not recommended. Anyone may access your device and use your Internet connection.
(You are responsible for payment for data usage fees.)
l
WEP 64 Bit – Open
: This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak. This option works
with older and newer Wi-Fi devices, and is recommended only if any of your devices don’t
support WPA or WPA2.
Open WEP uses the key for encryption, but not for authentication.
l
WEP 64 Bit – Shared
: This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak. This option
works with older and newer Wi-Fi devices, and is recommended only if any of your devices
don’t support WPA or WPA2.
Shared WEP uses the same key for encryption and authentication; some consider shared
WEP to be less secure than open WEP.
l
WEP 128 Bit – Open
: This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak (but stronger
than
WEP 64 Bit – Open
). This option works with older and newer Wi-Fi devices, and is
recommended only if any of your devices don’t support WPA or WPA2.
Open WEP uses the key for encryption, but not for authentication.

WPA PSK TKIP
: This is a strong security standard that is supported by most Wi-Fi devices.
l
WPA2 PSK AES
: This is a stronger, newer security standard that is limited to newer Wi-Fi
devices.
