Problem:
i am having difficulty setting up Wired equivalent Privacy (WeP) security on a Belkin client card (Wireless Network Card or Adapter)�

5. ensure the box “The key is provided for me automatically” at the

bottom is unchecked� if you are using this computer to connect to a

corporate network, please consult your network administrator if this

box needs to be checked�

6. Type your WeP key in the “Network key” box�
important: A WeP key is a combination of numbers and letters from A–F

and 0–7� For 128-bit WeP, you need to enter 26 keys� This network key

needs to match the key you assign to your G Wireless router or access

point�
For example: c3030FaF4bb2c3D44bc3D4E7E4 = 128-bit key

7. Click “OK”, and then “Apply” to save the settings�

if you are NOT using a Belkin wireless client card, please consult the

manufacturer’s user manual for that wireless client card�

Solution:
The client card must use the same key as the G Wireless router or

access point� For instance, if your Wireless router or access point uses

the key 00112233445566778899AABBCC, then the client card must be

set to the exact same key�

1. Double-click the “signal indicator” icon to bring up the “Wireless

Network Utility” screen� The “Advanced” button will allow you to view

and configure more options of your client card�

2. Once the “Advanced” button is clicked, the Belkin Wireless lAN

Utility will appear� This Utility will allow you to manage all the

advanced features of the Belkin client card�

3. Under the “Wireless Network Properties” tab, select a network name

from the “Available Networks” list and click the “Properties” button�

4. Under “Data encryption”, select “WeP”�
