Current network security codes are unavailable

If prompted for a network key or a name (SSID) when connecting to a WLAN, the network is protected by security. Enter the current codes to make a connection on a secure network. The SSID and network key are alphanumeric codes that are entered to identify the computer to the network. To find the codes:

For a network connected to your personal wireless router, review the router user guide for instructions on setting up the same codes on both the router and the WLAN device.

For a private network, such as a network in an office or at a public Internet chat room, contact the network administrator to obtain the codes, and then enter the codes when prompted.

Some networks change the SSID or network keys used in their routers or access points on a regular basis to improve security. Change the corresponding code in the computer accordingly.

If provided with new wireless network keys and SSID, and if you have previously connected to that network, follow the steps below to connect to the network:

1.Select Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center.

2.In the left panel, click Manage wireless networks.

A list showing the available WLANs appears. If you are in a hotspot where several WLANs are active, multiple networks appear.

3.Select the network in the list, right-click the network, and then click Properties.

NOTE: If the network you want is not listed, check with the network administrator to be sure that the router or access point is operating.

4.Click the Security tab and enter the correct wireless encryption data into the Network security key box.

5.Click OK to save these settings.
