We cannot assist you in locating your network security settings. How can I find the wireless settings (Network Name (SSID) and Network Key) 1. You should see the documentation provided with your wireless access point/router. 2. The initial network name could be the manufacturer's name or the model name. 3. If you do not know the security information, please consult the router manufacturer, your system administrator or internet provider. * The Network Key may also be described as the Password, Security Key or Encryption Key. * If the wireless access point/router is set to not broadcast the SSID, the SSID will not automatically be detected. You will have to manually enter the SSID name. See Configuring your machine when the SSID is not broadcast in the Network User's Guide.
