Authentication
Mode
Select what mode the wireless adapter uses to authenticate to an access
point:
•
Auto:
causes the adapter to attempt authentication using
shared, but switches it to open authentication if shared fails.
•
Open:
enables an adapter to attempt authentication regardless
of its WEP settings. It will only associate with the access point if
the WEP keys on both the adapter and the access point match.
•
Shared:
only allows the adapter to associate with access points
that have the same WEP key.
For infrastructure (access point) networks, click the Preferred APs button to specify up to four
access points to which the client adapter should attempt to associate.
