About Wireless Security
Many networks use wireless security to encrypt wireless data communications. If you try to
connect to a network with wireless security, the Smart Wizard detects it. Before you can use that
network, you must set up the wireless-N USB adapter with exactly the same kind of wireless
security settings. If you use the Smart Wizard to set up security, you can take advantage of Push 'N'
Note: for Windows Vista computers, you must have administrator rights. Otherwise,
this option is not available for selection.
