In a communication network, a method and system for confirming secure communication network setup in a wireless local area network (WLAN) are provided. After a secure communication configuration is completed in a wireless netwrok between a configurator station and a client station, a test exchange operation may be utilized during a configurator registration window to verify or validate the successful exchange of the SSID and passphrase to the client station. In this regard, the test exchange verifies the ability of the client station to connect to the corresponding WLAN. The test exchange may comprise an IEEE 802.11 or WLAN exchange phase, a Wi-Fi protected access (WPA) exchange phase, and a secure configuration protocol echo exchange phase. The WLAN and WPA exchanges may be utilized to enable a WPA joining of the client station while the secure configuration protocol echo exchange may be utilized to provide further authentication support.
