What is a network?

A network is a collection of devices such as computers, printers, Ethernet hubs, access points, and routers connected together for communication through cables or through a wireless connection. A network can be wired, wireless, or designed to have both wired and wireless devices.

How do I find out what type of security my network is using?

•Contact your system support person.

The person who set up your network usually keeps your wireless information.

•See the documentation that came with your access point (wireless router).

•Check the characters of the password that you use to access your wireless network. If you are not using a password, then choose None or No Security.

 

Characters

Security type

 

 

 

 

Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters

WEP

 

or

 

 

Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters

 

 

 

 

 

Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters

WPA or WPA2

From 8 to 63 ASCII characters

 

 

 

 

Notes:

–Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.

–ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard. ASCII characters in a WPA/WPA2 passphrase are case‑sensitive.

•View the security settings on the access point.

1Open a Web browser. Type the IP address of the access point in the address field, and then press Enter.

Notes:

–To obtain the IP address of the access point, see the documentation that came with it, or contact your system support person.

–If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the Web page correctly.

2Enter the user name and password for the access point when prompted.

Note: The WEP key or WPA/WPA2 passphrase is not the same as the password for the access point. The password allows you to access the access point settings. The WEP key or WPA/WPA2 passphrase allows printers and computers to join your wireless network.

3Look for the WEP key or WPA/WPA2 passphrase.

How are home networks configured?

For desktop computers, laptops, and printers to communicate with each other over a network, they must be connected by cables and/or have wireless network adapters built in or installed in them.
