During this setup procedure, you will need
some additional information. Make sure you
know the following:
the identification name broadcast by your
wireless network (SSID)

encryption, the network key (security key)*
for your network.
*
E.g., password for your network, WEP key, WPA
1
key, or WPA2 key
This information should be available from
your wireless router/wireless LAN access point
operating manual, from the person who set
up your wireless network, or the from the
information provided by your internet service
provider.
For details on the network name (SSID),
network key (security key), WEP, WPA and
