Configuring your machine when the SSID is not broadcasting

Before configuring your machine we recommend you write down your wireless network settings. You will need this information before you continue with the configuration.

Check and record the current wireless network settings.

Network name: (SSID)

Communication Mode	Authentication method	Encryption mode	Network key
Infrastructure	Open system	NONE	—
	Open system	WEP
	Shared key	WEP
	WPA/WPA2-PSK	AES
	WPA/WPA2-PSK	TKIP¹

¹	TKIP is supported for WPA-PSK only.

For example:
