L350/L350D

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption, based on the 128 bit
encryption algorithm (Atheros module type).

11a, 11b, 11g and 11n wireless are based on IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b,
802.11g and 802.11n respectively. The IEEE 802.11n specification has
not been finalized and is currently in draft release. The TOSHIBA
11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Adaptors are based on the draft release version
2.0, of the IEEE 802.11n specification. An adaptor with 11a/b, 11a/b/g or
11a/b/g/n can communicate on any of its supported formats; the actual
connection will be based on the access point to which it connects.

Connection compatibility with the wireless equipment in draft 11n mode
is not guaranteed.

The draft 11n function cannot be used with WEP/TKIP. Draft 11n mode
can be used only with WPA-PSK(AES) mode or no security mode.

Security

allow the illegal access by outsider through wireless LAN to cause

TOSHIBA strongly recommends the customer to enable the encryption
function.

TOSHIBA is not liable for the eavesdropping of data due to the use of
Wireless LAN and the damage thereof.
