The coordinates the access point or WiFi™ router can be set, with its security method, password, and priority. A router or access point is defined by its SSID.
When security is used, a password must be set and the proper security method in effect for that router must be set (WEP, WPA or WPA2). The security is often WPA or WPA2 nowadays because it offers improved security.
Note: By clicking on the little grey block at the left of the pass-phrase field, several input methods can be selected:
• | Password (P) is used to conceal the password being entered |
• | Hex (H) is normally used in conjunction with WEP security |
• | Normal (N) is normally used in conjunction with WPA and WPA2 security. This is the default. |
