Note:
When you select a network using encryption, you will first see the
simple security screen. Click the “Advanced” button to see other security
options (below).
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)
is the new standard in the wireless
security. However, not all wireless cards and adapters support this
technology. Please check your wireless adapter’s user manual to check if
it supports WPA. Instead of a hex key, WPA uses only passphrases, which
are much easier to remember.
The following section, intended for the home, home-office, and
small-office user, presents a few different ways to maximize the security
of your wireless network.
