If you try to connect to a network with wireless security the Smart Wizard detects it. Before you can use that network you must set up the WN311T with exactly the same kind of wireless security settings. The WN311T supports the following types of wireless security: • Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 Pre-Shared Key (WPA2-PSK) • Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK) • Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) For more information about wireless security, see the wireless reference document at: http://documentation.netgear.com/reference/enu/wireless/index.htm In addition to the wireless security features, networks should use LAN network security features such as requiring a user name and password to access the shared resources in the network. Using Wireless Security Features You can strengthen the security of your wireless connection by enabling Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption of the wireless data communications. Or, you can use WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key) encryption. For more information about wireless security, see the Web link to "Wireless Communications:" in Appendix B. In addition to the WN311T wireless security features, you should also configure appropriate LAN network security features such as requiring a user name and password to access the shared resources in your network. 2-10 Network Connections and Wireless Security v2.0, February 2007
