Connecting to a wireless LAN
The network key is data used to protect signals passing through a wireless LAN that
conforms with IEEE802.11b standard. It is also called an “encryption key.” Wireless
LAN communication can only occur between an access point and computer that are
using the same key information.
When you enter the network key and the connection is made, the access point is
registered, and you do not have to enter the network key when you connect thereafter.
