• How to check if a Hercules WiFi Device has been properly installed on my computer?

 

WiFi

Technology allowing users to connect a variety of devices in a network, such as computers, game consoles, PDAs... without any wires. The main use is wireless sharing of a home high-speed Internet connection.

Internet box

ADSL modem supplied by a high-speed Internet service provider to its clients.

WEP

Security protocol for wireless networks using encryption based on a fixed 64-bit or 128-bit key being used only once, at the beginning of the decryption phase. To decrypt a transmission, each client on the wireless network must use the same 64-bit or 128-bit key. WEP is part of the 802.11 standard, with the goal of ensuring authentication (access is only authorized for those who know the WEP key) and confidentiality (encryption). A WEP key is composed of numbers 0 to 9 and letters A to F (example: A123BCD45E).

WPA

High level of security, specially designed for environments such as a small business or the home, using a pre-shared key.
