About Wireless Security

Many networks use wireless security to encrypt wireless data communications. To connect to a

network with wireless security, you must set up the wireless-N USB adapter with exactly the same

kind of wireless security settings. If you use the Smart Wizard to set up security, you can take

advantage of Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to set up WPA-PSK [TKIP] security. Otherwise, you can

manually set one of the following types of wireless security used for home networks:

• WPA-PSK [TKIP] or WPA2-PSK [AES]. See “Setting Up WPA-PSK [TKIP] or WPA2-

PSK [AES] Security” on page 2-10.

• WEP. See “Setting Up WEP Encryption Security” on page 2-11.

For more information about wireless security, click the link to “Wireless Networking Basics” in

Appendix B.

Note: The channel number differs depending on the country. The connection speed
