network ID. In other words, it is the network’s name.
WEP encryption: WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) describes a type of encryp-
tion for WLANs. Naturally, the N3 can also receive and interpret WEP-encryp-
ted data.
WPA encryption: Like WEP, WPA is an encryption and authentication stan-
dard. WPA was developed to eliminate the fundamental weaknesses of WEP
encryption. WPA can thus be seen as the secure successor to WEP.
WPS: Wi-Fi Protected Setup is a standard for an easy and secure way of con-
necting to a wireless network.

WLAN: Also Wireless LAN or Wireless Local Area Network. The N3 connects
to your network via WLAN.
Remote Control Editor: PC software for the remote control. This is only required
for Windows Media Center or the Terratec Home Cinema software. The N3
itself can not be entirely controlled.
