connect to a network with wireless security the Smart Wizard detects it. Before you can use that
network you must set up the Wireless Notebook Adapter with exactly the same kind of wireless
security settings. The Wireless Notebook Adapter supports the following types of wireless
security:
•
Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 Pre-Shared Key (WPA2-PSK)
•
Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK)
•
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

In addition to the wireless security features, networks should use LAN network security features
such as requiring a user name and password to access the shared resources in the network.
