3.2.2.2 WPA/WPA2 encryption Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an encryption method for WLAN. WPA contains the WEP architecture, but offers additional pro- tection via dynamic codes, which are based on the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), and also offers pre-shared keys (PSK) or extensible authentication protocol (EAP) for user authentication.
Finish. 4.1 WPS Automatic confi guration Double-click the circled icon in the illustration to open the Hama Wireless LAN utility. WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) is a function that makes the security confi guration of the Wireless LAN connection easier. In order to be able to use the function, the router/access point and the remote station (WLAN USB stick, PCI card or PCMCIA card) must have the WPS function.
Afterwards, you are mostly asked to enter the network security key. For reasons of safety, we advise you against using uncoded networks. Click “Connect” for confi rmation.

Select Start => Settings => Control Panel => Software To do so, select Hama Wireless Utility and click Remove. At the next prompt, click Remove completely.

You can enter the data required for encryption here. The data must be identical to the router or access point settings. The authentication type and encryption are generally already selected in accordance with the target network. Enter the code which must correspond exactly with the code used by the router or access point.
Authentication: Authentication is a process in which the identity, e.g. of a person is determined based on a certain characteristic. This can be done by fi ngerprint, password or any other proof of authorisation. Encryption: Encryption is a process in which a plain text is transformed into a coded text via an encryption process (algorithm). One or more codes can be used for this.
