Network: A system to exchange information between computers by connecting them to each other. The Internet is a type of network.
TKIP: An encryption method. Periodic encryption key renewal prevents decryption by a third party.
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.
