setting of encryption.
If you want to specify access point manually, click Manual Setup on the Access
Points dialog box. Enter the settings for the target access point on the Manual
Setup dialog box, then click Connect. The target access point is searched with
the specified settings.
For information on how to change settings on the access point, refer to your
access point's instruction manuals or contact its manufacturer.
Important
If you connect to a network that is not protected with security measures, there is
a risk of disclosing data such as your personal information to a third party.
SSID
Enter the SSID set to the access point. The SSID is case sensitive. When using
