The simple answer is yes. It supports WEP security utilizing 5 or 10 character security codes. Works great with my home wireless system with the above security settings.

If you mean whether or not you can connect to a hot spot (any hot spot) then the answer is yes. It just needs to be open or you need to have the password for it. Make sure airline mode is not on or anything that would prevent WIFI from working.

Thanks-If I turned off security all together, it was able to connect. But I use that network on my laptop computer. I ended up giving up and hard wiring the TV. Returned the wireless adapter.

I'm glad you contacted me because you should know that the N-50 doesn't work with wifi routers that require security passwords. You should be ok if you have an older router that doesn't require passwords, or if you are going to use a LAN hard wired connection. I had to send my unit back for a refund. As for your question I don't know, but one reviewer said the two sound very similar. Hope this helps. Phil

I would also assume that the info is not secure. When I plug mine in to add more info, no password is required.

I connected it to a Windows XP PC and it worked without using the setup disk. Are you sure it's not asking for a wireless access point password. Sorry not much help. JB

I would say no, you need to plug it in close to the router at first plus you need the security password to the router.

Yep...I use WPA2 and it never has any connectivity trouble. It isn't fun typing in a complex pass code, but I've only had to do it once. I use an AirPort Extreme access point. (Previous generation)

Austin's is the right answer, but if you need help on that, you might want to review this helpful website for that and other info:http://netsecurity.about.com/od/secureyourwifinetwork/a/How-To-Change-Your-Wifi-Network-Password.htm

I disagree with the previous answer that this can not be setup using only an iPad because I did it! Plug it in, wait for it to boot, scan for WiFi, enter the default WPA2 password (in tiny etching under the USB plug, you're in. Since you're only wirelessly connected, you have to be cognicant that you might have to "forget this network" and rebuild the connection if you change the WPA password.

This router is secure already, but it's not like your home router which is encrypted.however, when you configure it, it will ask you for a password , so you choose the one that your computer registers... It needs to be connected to a Ethernet port... In order for it to work!

Yes it can. However, you will need to have a data plan with your provider to allow for such. With 8.1, you can use it to share a password protected signal without having to share the wi-fi password (such as you might have at your house).

there is no code protection when you start the device. but you can set up wifi password as same as wifi router to prevent strangers.

i've had mine for a couple of years. no problems at all. it talks to a Belkin wireless router. enter the network password, and you are up and going...

the asus laptop has wi fi capabilities. you need to have the security name and code if accessing private connections unless they are public

yes it connects to wifi no problem. I have a standard netgear wireless router at home and it gets on just fine.

Yes it streamed YouTube and netflix very well and yes it connects to wifi also my wireless printer. I thought I needed the previous owners password.... When installed programs. when I called customer service, by the way they were great.... They just told me to press ok. You know after you input a password and then press ok? Well I didn't need a password I just simply pressed ok. Hope that helps.
