If you set the Authentication
Algorithm to Shared Key, this
protocol provides a
rudimentary form of user
authentication.
However, if the Authentication
Algorithm is set to “Open
System”, no authentication is
performed.
If the algorithm is set to
“Both”, only WEP clients are
authenticated.
Static WEP uses a fixed key
that is provided by the
administrator. WEP keys are
indexed in different slots (up to
four on the D-Link
DWL -2210AP).
The client stations must have
the same key indexed in the
same slot to access data on
the access point.
An RC4 stream cipher is
used to encrypt the
frame body and cyclic
redundancy checking
(CRC) of each 802.11
frame.

Recommendations
Static WEP was designed to provide the security equivalent of sending unencrypted
data through an Ethernet connection, however it has major flaws and it does not provide
even this intended level of security.
Therefore, Static WEP is not recommended as a secure mode. The only time to use
Static WEP is when interoperability issues make it the only option available to you and
you are not concerned with the potential of exposing the data on your network.

When to Use IEEE 802.1x
IEEE 802.1x is the standard for passing the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
over an 802.11 wireless network using a protocol called EAP Encapsulation Over
LANs (EAPOL). This is a newer, more secure standard than static WEP.
