This can be tricky. Most of the time the problem is not the authentication type (OPEN_SYSTEM or
SHARED_KEY, most Access Points support both), but how you define the keys. The Key must be 13
printable charachters or 26 hex numbers with a leading '0x'. If you forget the '0x', then WifiStat will take the first
13 hex numbers as printable characters, and that's a different key.

This is correct, you can't set the authetication algorithm with MPTS.
