Securing your Wi-Fi® Network

If your router has security (WEP or WPA) set, you will see this box when you try to connect. When this box opens, type the encryption key you set on your router, then click Connect.

The next few pages are advanced options of setting the security through the card instead of the router.

Note: When you select a network using encryption, you will first see the simple security screen. Click the Advanced button to see other security options (below).

Currently, there are four encryption methods:

 

64-Bit Wired
