2. Using a Network-Connected Machine

The wireless network security window appears when the access point has
security settings.

The wireless network security window appears. The window may differ
according to its security mode: WEP, or WPA.

WEP

Select Open System or Shared Key for the authentication and enter the
WEP security key. Click Next.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a security protocol preventing
unauthorized access to your wireless network. WEP encrypts the data
portion of each packet exchanged on a wireless network using a 64-bit
or 128-bit WEP encryption key.

WPA

Enter the WPA shared key and click Next.

WPA authorizes and identifies users based on a secret key that changes
automatically at regular intervals. WPA also uses TKIP (Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol) and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) for data
encryption.
