WiFi Global
On supported models, the Helix has a Wi-Fi radio for wireless network
connections.
Note: You can lock yourself out of the Helix when you first turn on WEP or WPA. You must
then enter the right key in the format required by your computer or device before you can
connect to the Helix with Wi-Fi. WEP and WPA do not affect Ethernet connections, so you
can always connect to the Helix through an Ethernet port regardless of your encryption
settings.
