Setting Security

We strongly recommend security, although you do not need to use it to get your wireless connection working.

Important! You must first enable security on the the wireless access point. You then enable security on the adapter using the same configuration that you used for the access point. For example, if the wireless access point is configured for WPA2- PSK, you must select WPA2-PSK security in the Wireless-G PC Card configuration software and enter the same encryption key.

Select one of five ways to configure and implement security for your wireless network:

•WPA2-PSK(WiFi ® Protected Access 2 Pre-Shared Key) is the recommended option if it is supported by the access point and the devices in your network. WPA2-PSK protects your communications with AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). Some access points permit a “mixed mode” network composed of both WPA and WPA2 wireless clients.

WPA2-PSK requires you to enter an encryption key shared by the access point.

•WPA PSK (WiFi ® Protected Access Pre-Shared Key)

If the devices in your network do not all support WPA2-PSK, select WPA-PSK. WPA-PSK protects your communications with TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol).
