on my laptop, with open and shared i get the option of WEP and disabled for encryption. so if i go for shared WEP, does that mean i can disable the encryption?
does shared key encryption force wep encryption?
i guess with open system, there is no challenge, authentication, but pure encryption on both sides and clients access the system
i did some searching on the net, and came across this site
[L=http://www.eui.eu/CS/DocumentDetail.jsp?query=&ID=162]http://www.eui.eu/CS/DocumentDetail.jsp?query=&ID=162[/L]
it says "With open key authentication, even if a client can complete authentication and associate with an AP", i dont understand how does a client authenticate on an open system, i thought there was no authentication in the open mode, or is that use of WEP with 802.1x, that is the enterprise mode, correct?
i am getting confused here.
can you guys tell me how to turn off the broadcast of the SSID from my access point?
i guess i would have to make corresponding changes in my client(laptop)
if you visit a public hotspot, how do you know if it supports WEP or WPA?
i guess if i change my WEP 64 bit to 128 bit, i have to double the length of my WEP key, correct?
