- Autenticación (Authentication). This field must contain the type of authentication
used on the network to which you want to connect. You must choose one of the
following types:
• Abierta (Open). No authentication – users do not require an authentication
key.
• Compartida (Shared). The key is secret and shared between the device that
wants to connect to the network and the wireless access point.
• WPA-PSK (WPA-Pre Shared Key). Based on WPA but not requiring an
authentication server. The key is shared.
• WPA2-PSK. Similar to the previous point, this is WPA-PSK migration to an
even more secure system. Similar to WPA-PSK, no authentication server is
required. The key is shared.
• WPA-None. This authentication system may only be selected if our
connection is ‘Point-to-Point’. It is based on WPA-PSK but applied to point-to-
point connections so it is more secure than WEP because the encrypted
algorithms are better and more modern.
- Tipo Seguridad (Security Type). This field must contain the type of encryption used in
network communication. You must choose one of the following types:
• None. In this case, no encrypted algorithm will be used and there will be no
confidentiality between your computer and the access point.
• WEP (
Wired Equivalent Privacy
). This is the first encrypted system used on
wireless networks. You should use WPA instead of WEP if you have old
devices connected as the must b
• TKIP (

rotocol). This is the encrypted algorithm used
by WPA. It is the same algorithm as WEP but solves the latter’s vulnerabilities.
• AES (
Advanced Encryption Standard
). This is the most modern of the
encrypted algorithms mentioned. It is normally associated with WPA2 or
WPA2-PSK. It is the most recommended if all your devices are compatible
with this type of encryption.
- Clave Seguridad (Security Key). Field intended for the key used in the related text
table for connection to the network.
- Opciones Avanzadas (Advanced options). This allows you to specify TCP/IP network
values manually. For further details, consult subsection 4.6.1 ‘TCP/IP Configuration’
of this user manual.
3. Once you have entered the required parameters, click Aceptar. Then, in the following
message you will be offered to connect to the profile created. To do so, click Aceptar.
Otherwise, click Cancelar. In this case we will have created a connection profile
within the Profiles management option that can connect at any time.
