Wireless Security
Many networks use wireless security to encrypt wireless data communications. If you try to
connect to a network with wireless security, the Smart Wizard detects it. Before you can use that
network, you must set up the Wireless Express Card with exactly the same kind of wireless
security settings. The Wireless Express Card supports the following types of wireless security:
• Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 Pre-Shared Key (WPA2-PSK)
• Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK)
• Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
For more information about wireless security, see the link to the online document “Wireless
Networking Basics” in Appendix B. In addition to the wireless security features, networks should
use LAN network security features such as requiring a user name and password to access the
shared resources in the network.
