Supported encryption types
The WLAN USB stick supports the following encryption processes to prevent
unauthorized access to your wireless network:
- WPA
- WPA2
- WEP (64/ 128 bit)
Note
- WPA and WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) are the current standards for encryption of wireless networks and the data transmitted. Only users who know the set key can access the wireless network.
- WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an older encryption process and is required whenever a user in the wireless network does not support the newer WPA/WPA2 encryption process.
- We recommend using the WPA or WPA2 encryption process whenever possible.

Infrastructure mode
- Wireless connection of one or more computers and other network users to an access point is called infrastructure mode.
- Access points such as WLAN routers allow functions such as accessing the Internet or a wired network.
Network configuration via WPS
Note – WPS
- If your access point supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), this standard can simplify the configuration of your wireless network.
- Please refer to the instructions in the operating manual of your terminal device.
- WPS can only be used in combination with the WPA/ WPA2 encryption processes (WEP is not supported).
- Press the WPS button at the access point (the button may have a different name) to activate the WPS function at the access point and on the computer with the inserted WLAN USB stick.
