Shared Key is when both the sender and the recipient share a WEP key for authentication. Open System is when the sender and the recipient do not share a WEP key for authentication. All devices on your network must use the same authentication type.

Allow PCs with the same wireless network name (SSID) to see each other. When enabled, devices in the same wireless network will be able to access each other, so they can transfer files through the network. To deny access, select Disabled. Otherwise, keep the default, Enabled.

Default Transmit Key. Select a Default Transmit Key (choose which Key to use).

WEP Encryption. Select a level of WEP encryption, 64 bits (10 hex digits) or 128 bits (26 hex digits).
