About Wireless Security
Many networks use wireless security to encrypt wireless data communications. To connect to a
network with wireless security, you must set up the WiFi Internet adapter with exactly the same
kind of wireless security settings. If you use the Smart Wizard to set up security, you can take
advantage of Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to set up WPA-PSK [TKIP] security. Otherwise, you can
manually set one of the following types of wireless security used for home networks:
• WPA-PSK [TKIP] or WPA2-PSK [AES]. S ee “Setting Up WPA-PSK [TKIP] or WPA2-
PSK [AES] Security” on page 2-3 .
• WEP . See “Setting Up WEP Encryption Security” on page 2-4 .

Appendix B .

If you do not use WPS, then you need to know the security settings to join a secured wireless
network. You can save the settings in a profile. You can also print this page, fill in the wireless
network settings, and put it in a safe place for future reference.
