WEP 128-bit
128-bit or-64 bit static key data encryption can be
selected when the network is configured to have no
authentication.
128-bit static key data encryption is automatically
selected when 802.1x network authentication is
enabled.

Static key authentication uses one of the four
encryption keys, as defined below, to encrypt your
data. You must manually change keys. The keys do not
change or rotate automatically as they do with TKIP.
64-bit and 40-bit encryption are two different names
for the same encryption
128-bit and 104-bit encryption are two different names
for the same encryption
