If your wireless network is not using security, then you will not have a security key.

Note: If you do not know the SSID of the network that your computer is connected to, then launch the wireless utility of the computer network adapter and look for the network name. If you cannot find the SSID or the security information for your network, then see the documentation that came with the access point, or contact your system support person.

Information you will need during advanced wireless setup

The Wireless Setup Utility does not detect the wireless network SSID for you during advanced wireless setup. You must know the following information before configuring the wireless printer settings manually:

Wireless Mode

Check your wireless network type:

Infrastructure—All devices on a wireless network communicate with each other through an access point (wireless router).

Ad Hoc—Network devices communicate directly with each other without the use of centralized security or access point. Ad hoc mode may be available only in select printer models or operating systems.

Note: Infrastructure is the recommended network configuration because of its faster transfer speeds, better security options, and ease of configuration.

Network Name (SSID)

This is the identifying name that distinguishes a network from other networks in the area.

Channel

Auto is selected by default and cannot be changed if the network is configured in infrastructure mode.

Notes:

If the network is set up in ad hoc mode, then select the channel that other devices in the network are using. All devices in an ad hoc network must use the same channel to communicate with each other.

The printer can communicate on only one wireless network at a time. Configuring the printer for an ad hoc wireless network will keep it from working on any other wireless network, either ad hoc or infrastructure.

Authentication

Determine if you have an infrastructure or ad hoc setup, and then check the corresponding authentication type. Note: Some authentication types may be available only in select printer models or operating systems.

Wireless mode Authentication type

Infrastructure Open Mode

WPA Personal
