4.7 Configuring Encryption

This section describes the available encryption types and how to configure them. In most
cases, encryption type will be automatically detected by the wireless USB adapter; all you
need to do is to enter the Network key, as described in Section 3, Step 3.4.

If you are creating a custom profile, you need to manually configure the encryption settings.
The encryption settings you configure must match the settings on the AP or wireless router
you wish to connect to. Please follow the instructions below.

Open the Wireless Monitor utility, click Profile tab and then click Add.


The available options of wireless network encryption settings are:

Disable: No encryption in use
WEP: The most popular but least secure form of encryption (Open System/Shared Key)
WPA/WPA2-PSK: The most secure and recommended level of encryption
