Connecting to a Secure Wi-Fi® Network
If you choose to connect to a secure network, determine the type of security
(WPA/WPA2 or WEP) and use the appropriate field in the dialog box.
Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a less secure, but more widely adopted
wireless security protocol. Depending on the security level (64- or 128-bit), the
user will be asked to input a 10- or 26-character hex key. A hex key is a
combination of letters, a–f, and numbers, 0–9.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) is the new standard in wireless security.
Instead of a hex key, WPA/WPA2 uses only passphrases, which are much easier
to remember. The passphrase is 8–63 characters and can consist of alphabet
letters and numbers.
