Shared Key: To use Shared Key authentication, WEP must be enabled, and a valid WEP key must be present.

still use Open System authentication.
WEP Security WEP

(for 64-bit encryption) or 13 (for 128-bit encryption) or 29 (for 256-bit encryption). If not selected, the WEP key is
treated as a string of hexadecimal characters, and the number of characters must be either 10 (for 64-bit
encryption), 26 (for 128-bit encryption), or 58 (for 256-bit encryption). The only allowable hexadecimal characters
are 0-9 and A-F.
Note: The WEP key must be the same value and type for both Verizon One and the wireless network adapter.
