NOTE:
HP recommends that you select WPA2, which is the most advanced of the three encryption
protocols. The use of WEP encryption is not recommended, because it can be overcome with little
effort.
●
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) use security standards to
encrypt and decrypt data transmitted over the network. Both WPA and WPA2 dynamically
generate a new key for every packet, and they also generate a different set of keys for each
computer on the network. To accomplish this:
◦
WPA uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP).
◦
WPA2 uses Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol (CCMP), which
is a new AES protocol.
●
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encrypts data with a WEP key before it is transmitted. Without
the correct key, others will not be able to use the WLAN.
Roaming to another network
When you move your computer within range of another WLAN, the operating system attempts to
connect to that network. If the attempt is successful, your computer is automatically connected to the
new network. If the operating system does not recognize the new network, follow the same procedure
you used initially to connect to your WLAN.
