Simple WEP & WPA question

I am trying to get either WPA or WEP enabled on a KCorp WiFi router. Simple question is.......HOW? Have a look at the attached bmp and see if it makes any sense?

Also can you only use WEP if you have a RADIUS server?

At the moment I cant even get WPA working............

yes, you can use WEP in conjunction with a Radius server, if your AP supports the protocol. You have a radius server? From the post I'd tend to doubt it so I wouldn't worry too much about radius. What is it your having trouble with? That screen print looks like a manual, not a gui for a router config page.

Right, you appear to have missed my point completely. Probably my fault! I do not have a RADIUS server although I have experiance with them. I am using a KCorp 108G+ router that recognises WPA and WEP, now obviously WEP is more desirable and that is what I am hoping to impliment. The manual (I didnt say it was the router GUI) seems to indicate that you can only use WEP in conjunction with a RADIUS server. My question, which I thought was simple enough, was, can WEP be used without a RADIUS server??

Well you think WEP is more desirable than WPA for some reason. Assumption confirmed. Yes, you can use WEP without a RADIUS. Wink, wink. My guess is you have been meaning to use WPA in the place of WEP. If y didn't know any better that is what the manual might be construed as saying. You can use WPA-TKIP without RADIUS. Anything else lad?
