How do I find out what type of security my network is using?

network. To obtain this information, see the documentation that came with your wireless router, see the Web page
associated with the router, or consult the person who set up your wireless network.
Check your security
keys
A security key is like a password. All devices on the same network share the same security key.
Note: Make sure you copy down the security key exactly, including any capital letters, and store it in a safe place
for future reference.
