• 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

1. From the Home screen, navigate to Tools > Settings > Configure Wi-Fi.
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
5. Enter the network password.

available to quickly test your network connection.

(Red = test failed, Yellow = test is process, or Green = test completed
satisfactorily) when finished (Figure 13-5).
