Wireless Security

Many networks use wireless security. The first time you join a network that uses wireless
security, you must either know its security settings, or use Push 'N' Connect (WPS) for a
WPS-compatible wireless network. The main types of wireless security are:
Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 Pre-Shared Key (WPA2-PSK)
•
Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK)
•
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
•
For more information about wireless security, see the wireless reference document at
