Make a note of your network settings
If you can connect a computer to your wireless network, you should have little trouble
setting up your Squeezebox Boom. Gathering information about your network now will
make it easier to congure your Squeezebox Boom.
Network name (SSID):
Security Key:
If your network is secured, you will need to enter the security key during setup.
Squeezebox Boom detects the types of security keys used on 802.11 wireless networks:
WEP (64- and 128-bit), WPA, and WPA2. If you are using WEP security, you’ll need
to specify 64- or 128-bit; if you’re unsure of the type of encryption, the following
information may help:
WEP keys are entered in hexadecimal (using only numbers 0 to 9 and letters A to F). •
64-bit WEP keys are exactly 10 digits in length; 128-bit keys are exactly 26 digits.
WPA and WPA2 keys are between 8 and 64 characters long and use any combination •
of numbers 0 through 9, both upper- and lower-case letters and some punctuation
symbols.
If you cannot determine how your network security is set up, contact your network
provider or the party who installed your wireless router.
