If your existing wireless network has WEP encryption enabled, you need to configure the wireless adapter with the identical encryption settings in order to establish a connection. Step 1 Verify that the Wireless network name matches the SSID of the Access Point you're trying to connect to. Step 2 Verify the Authentication Mode is set to the same setting as the Access Point you're trying to connect to. Step 3 Select WEP from the Data Encryption drop-down menu. Step 4 Choose the same Key length that the Access Point is using. Step 5 Enter the identical key in the corresponding key number Step 6 Make sure the default key is the same key number used by the Access Point. Note: both the key and the key number must be identical with the Access Point. Step 8 Click Apply and OK. 3. 3 Configuring WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Encryption If your existing wireless network has WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK encryption enabled, you need to configure the wireless adapter with the identical encryption settings in order to establish a connection.
