Open System: Open System authentication allows any station to associate with the
wireless network but only stations with the valid WEP key can send or receive data
from the router. Open System authentication is considered to be more secure than
Shared Key authentication.
Shared Key: Shared Key authentication requires the station to authenticate with the
router using the WEP key before it can associate with the wireless network.
Key Select Factory Default = Key 1
