About a Security Key for Wi-Fi(R) (Wireless LAN)
A security key is a security protocol for Wi-Fi that encrypts data transmitted on Wi-Fi. It is also referred to as an
encryption key or a WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) key.
The security key allows wireless devices that have the same key, such as a Wi-Fi access point and a computer, to
communicate with each other on Wi-Fi.
The security key is assigned to each access point by default. (Make sure the default security key has been changed to
protect data from unauthorized use.) If you cannot find the default security key, refer to the manual that came with your
access point.
If you enter a wrong security key and your VAIO computer fails to connect to an access point, follow these steps to
establish the connection.
1. Open the charms and select the
Settings charm. (See
to open the charms.)
2. Select
(the network icon).
3. Change the
Wi-Fi setting to On.
4. Select the desired Wi-Fi access point and
Connect.
