A passphrase functions like a password. In WEP security mode, it is further converted by

from all devices wishing to connect to a wireless network.

WEP Encryption

This dictates the length of the security key that the network is going to use.

Authentication 
Method

Select Auto or Shared Key from the drop-down list box.

This field specifies whether the wireless clients have to provide the WEP key to login to the 
wireless client. Keep this setting at Auto unless you want to force a key verification before 
communication between the wireless client and the Router occurs. 

Select Shared Key to force the clients to provide the WEP key prior to communication.  

ASCII

Select this option in order to enter ASCII characters as WEP key.
