• Network Security Type
– Open (only need SSID)
– WPA or WPA2 (Pre-shared key)
– WEP (WEP key)
• Network name or SSID (Service Set Identifier)
• Network Password

2. Select Add Network Advanced from the network list (scroll to end of list).
3. Select security type Open, WPA, WPA2, or WEP. Refer to the router user manual or your IT
administrator to determine the type.
4. Enter the network name or SSID
