No encryption will be applied. This setting is useful for troubleshooting your wireless connection, but leaves your wireless data fully exposed.
64 or 128 bit WEP
When 64 Bit WEP or 128 Bit WEP is selected, WEP encryption will be applied.
WEP provides some degree of privacy, but can be defeated without great difficulty. If WEP is enabled, you can manually or automatically program the four data encryption keys. These values must be identical on all PCs and access points in your network.

Clicking the radio button selects which of the four keys will be active.
