Enter the wireless equivalent privacy (WEP) key. You can

define more than one WEP key, and you can also select the

default key, if that is required by your WLAN.
WPA authentication

Enter the Wi-Fi protected access (WPA) preshared key. The key

length must be between 8 and 63 characters. Only ASCII

characters are allowed.

WPA with EAP type

To define the extensible authentication protocol (EAP) type,

select from the following:

TLS (transport layer security) authentication — Select the

client certificate used for authentication.

PEAP (protected extensible authentication protocol)

authentication or TTLS (tunnelled transport layer

security) — Select an authentication method used inside

PEAP or TTLS and an optional client certificate.
For MSCHAPv2, define a user name and a password. Select the

Prompt password at every login

check box, if you want

your password to be always requested when a connection is

created. For GTC, enter your user name. You are prompted for

a response upon connection creation. The client certificates

are optional. For more information, contact your internet

service provider.
