Note
- To give the registered access point priority in the future, set [Priority Connection] to [On].
- [WPA2]/[None] can be selected for [Security]. From a security standpoint, we recommend using the encrypted method WPA2. To ensure a secure wireless LAN connection, we strongly recommend using an access point with WPA2 security settings.
- Connecting to an access point without security settings may result in hacking, access from malicious third parties, or attacks on vulnerabilities. Unless there is a specific reason, we do not recommend using an access point without security settings.
