Checking the SSID and Network Key
When manually setting up a wireless LAN router connection, it is necessary to specify the SSID, network key, and security standard, etc., of the wireless LAN router. The SSID and network key may be indicated on these networking devices. Check your devices before setting up the connection. If the security standard for your wireless LAN router is WPA/WPA2-EAP, specify the IEEE 802.1X authentication settings for the machine in advance (Configuring the IEEE 802.1X Authentication Settings). For more information, see the instruction manuals for your networking devices or contact your manufacturer.
