Use this method to connect to your network if your router
does not support the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature
If you are manually configuring your WIP310 wireless
connection, you need to know the wireless security type
for your router The WIP310 works with the following
security types:
WEP
•
—Wired Equivalent Privacy With this type of
security, you need to enter a 64 or 128-bit key on the
phone (or a more easily remembered passphrase to
generate the key) The phone then authenticates with
your router to provide a secure connection
WPA
•
—Wi-Fi Protected Access With this type of
security, you need to enter a password on the phone
The phone then authenticates with your router to
provide a secure connection

you need to log in to the router interface to get this
information The steps below are written for a Linksys
router, but procedures for other routers should be similar

a web browser Your computer must be connected
to your wireless network Enter the IP address of the
wireless router in the browser toolbar

(SSID) and the type of security (WEP, WPA Personal, or
WPA2 Personal)
