About a Security Key for a Wireless LAN
A security key is a security protocol for a wireless LAN that encrypts data transmitted on the
wireless LAN. It is also referred to as an encryption key or a WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
key.
The security key allows wireless devices that have the same key, such as a wireless LAN
access point and a computer, to communicate with each other on the wireless LAN.
The security key is assigned to each access point by default. (Make sure the default security
key has been changed to protect data from unauthorized use.) If you cannot find the default
security key, refer to the manual that came with your access point.
If you enter a wrong security key, follow these steps to re-enter the security key.
