*Obviously, if you are not in United Kingdom, you will replace '''GB''' by the country code that applies to you.
*Within the first set of quotes, replace '''YourNetwork''' by whatever ''Service Set IdentifierIDentifier'' is used for your wireless network. You may have typed this into your mobile phone. It may be shown on a card that slips into a slot on your hub or router. Whatever it is, and it can be up to 32 characters (letters, numbers, and symbols), type it within the double quotes. Some routers come with a default SSID that is the manufacturer's name, and leave it to you to pick a SSID that is unique to you using up to 32 characters to personalise it.
*Within the next set of quotes, which relate to the replace '''YourNetworkPassword''' by whatever Pre-Shared-Key (password) is used for your wireless network. You may have typed this into your mobile phone. Hopefully, you have changed it from whatever was shown as the initial password on the card that slips into a slot on your hub or router (even if all you have done is add a prefix or suffix that means something to you).
*Most wireless networks will use Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) or (from 2006) Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) protocols, so '''WPA-PSK''' is correct for you. Note that your Pi is only able to use these protocols. The earlier Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) was officially withdrawn in 2004 as too easy to crack, so it is not supported on a new Pi.
