Using Wireless Security Many networks use wireless security to encrypt wireless data communications. 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 WN311B with exactly the same kind of wireless security settings. The WN311B 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. 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.
