Connecting to a Secure Wi-Fi®Network

If you choose to connect to a secure network, determine the type of security (WPA/WPA2 or WEP) and use the appropriate field in the dialog box..

Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a less secure, but more widely adopted wireless security protocol.. Depending on the security level (64- or 128-bit), the user will be asked to input a 10- or 26-character hex key.. A hex key

is a combination of letters, a–f, and numbers, 0–9..

Wi-Fi Protected Access® (WPA®/WPA2®) is the new standard in wireless security. Instead of a hex key, WPA/WPA2 uses only passphrases, which are much easier to remember.. The passphrase is 8–63 characters and can consist of alphabet letters and numbers..
