DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. This means that a new device can be added to a network without having to manually assign a unique IP address. Infrastructure network A network in which your wireless devices communicate through a central wireless access point or base station. An infrastructure network can contain multiple wireless access points. IP address Internet Protocol Address, a number that identifies each device connected to the network.; for example, 192.168.0.1. MAC address Media Access Controller Address, sometimes referred to as UAA, a 12-character identifier that is unique for each network hardware device; for example, 0002001008e8. Network authentication type The data encryption mode that is used on your network to prevent unauthorized users or devices from connecting to or accessing your wireless network.You can use one of the following options for network authentication: None WEP WPA (WiFi Protected Access) - Infrastructure mode networks only A WPA key is like a password, and must be comprised of a range of 8-63 standard ASCII characters. Network-capable printer A printing device that does not need to be locally attached to a computer. When connected to a network or network adapter, it can be accessed by any computer on the same network. A printer that can connect to an external print server is considered a network-capable printer.

This means that a new device can be added to a network without having to manually assign a unique IP
address.
Infrastructure network
A network in which your wireless devices communicate through a central wireless access point or base
station. An infrastructure network can contain multiple wireless access points.
IP address
Internet Protocol Address, a number that identifies each device connected to the network.; for example,
192.168.0.1.
MAC address
Media Access Controller Address, sometimes referred to as UAA, a 12-character identifier that is unique for
each network hardware device; for example, 0002001008e8.
Network authentication type
The data encryption mode that is used on your network to prevent unauthorized users or devices from
connecting to or accessing your wireless network.You can use one of the following options for network
authentication:
None
WEP
WPA (WiFi Protected Access) - Infrastructure mode networks only
A WPA key is like a password, and must be comprised of a range of 8-63 standard ASCII characters.
Network-capable printer
A printing device that does not need to be locally attached to a computer. When connected to a network or
network adapter, it can be accessed by any computer on the same network. A printer that can connect to an
external print server is considered a network-capable printer.
