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.
The procedures below explain how to configure the wireless encryption settings of your Wireless
USB 2.0 Adapter.
Know Your Wireless Network Settings
You will need to know the settings for your wireless network. The form on the next page is set up
so that you can record this information. You can use either of these two methods to keep track of
these settings:
• Print the form on the next page and fill it out. If you are uncomfortable writing out secure
information, put a “hint” to yourself instead of the actual information. Put the form someplace
where it will be very easy for you to remember, or save two copies and put them in different
places.
• Save the information in a document on your computer. Later you can search for words such as
SSID to locate the information.
