Setting wireless security
Important:
In an infrastructure network, if you want wireless
security you must first enable it on the wireless access point. Then
you enable security on the adapter, using the same type of
security that you used for the access point.
We highly recommend security.
There are five security options
with the Wireless-G USB adapter: WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK, WEP,
WPA2-Enterprise, and WPA.
We recommend that you choose WPA2-PSK
if the access point
and the devices in your network support this option. Please see the
User Guide
on the CD for descriptions of the five security options
and for setup instructions.
