Network: A system to exchange information between computers by connecting them to each other. The Internet is a type of network.
Network password: A password to encrypt wireless transmission; also referred to as encryption key, WEP key, passphrase or pre-shared key.
Router: A device that plays the role of bridging or connecting the communication between devices (computers, printers, etc.) on the network.
SSID: A name to identify a wireless router used in a wireless network.
TKIP: An encryption standard; periodic encryption key renewal prevents decryption by a third party.
USB: A standard to connect peripherals (printers, etc.) to a computer.
WEP: A security protocol used in IEEE802.11.
Wi-Fi: A brand name given only to products that have passed Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability tests. Your printer is a Wi-Fi certified product.
Wireless connection: A LAN (Local Area Network) that does not require cables.
Wireless router: A device that acts as a bridge when establishing a wireless network.
WPS: A standard with which wireless device connections and security setting can be established easily. Push button method and PIN code method are available. WPS stands for Wi-Fi Protected Setup.
