You will need the network SSID (also called the Network Name or Service Set ID) Different wireless networks require different security information. While not recommended, some wireless networks are not secure and have no security information. Select No security if your network is not secure. If your wireless network is secure, you may need the following information: • WEP key(s)-Required for WEP security • WPA/WPA2 passphrase-Required for WPA and WPA2 security. If your network uses WPA or WPA2 security, choose WPA Personal during installation.

The password allows you to access the wireless access point settings, while the WEP key or WPA passphrase allows printers and computers to join your wireless network. Note: Make sure you copy down the security key and SSID exactly, including any capital letters, and store it in a safe place for future reference.
