WEP encryption does not support high throughput rates or features like
frame aggregation or block acknowledgments for 802.11n, per the IEEE
802.11n specification.
WEP should never be used for WDS links on APs.
After configuring network security, the configuration must be
applied to an SSID for the new functionality to take effect.
