Change authentication wifi WPA to WEPon Windows 8

I use

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=Kites key=phambaoViet

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

To share WiFi from LAN network on laptop (Windows 8) to my other device.

When I show information netsh wlan show hostednetwork the supported authentication is WPA.

My device support authentication WEP only.

How can I change the authentication to WEP?

WEP encryption on hostednetwork is not possible. It will run only with WPA. But you can search for third party software which may provide this feature.
