Connecting to a Network With Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Security Requirements
The following instructions are basic steps for connecting to a WPA network. If your network
requires a user name, password, or domain settings, consult the setup instructions in the user’s

for your wireless network. In addition, your WPA-protected network may require special settings such as
a network key, user name, password, and domain name.
