I am having difficulty setting up Wired equivalent Privacy (WeP)
security on a belkin client card�
The client card must use the same key as the Router . For instance, if
your Router 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” screen .
2�
The “Advanced” button will allow you to view and configure more
options of your card .
3�
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 Wireless Card .
4�
Under the “Wireless Network Properties” tab, select a network
name from the “Available Networks” list and click the “Properties”
button .
5�
Under “Data Encryption”, select “WEP” .
6�
Ensure that the check 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 .
7�
Type your WEP key in the “Network key” box .
Important: A WEP key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A-F and
0-9 . For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 keys . This network key needs
to match the key you assign to your Router .
For example:
C3 03 0F AF 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 E4 = 128-bit key
8� 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 .
do belkin products support WPa/WPa2?
Note: To use WPA security, all your clients must be upgraded to drivers
and software that support it . At the time of this FAQ publication, a
security patch download is available, for free, from Microsoft . This patch
works only with the Windows XP operating system .
Download the patch here: http://support .microsoft .com/?kbid=826942
You also need to download the latest driver for your Belkin 802 .11g
Wireless Desktop or Notebook Network Card from the Belkin support
site . Other operating systems are not supported at this time . Microsoft’s
patch only supports devices with WPA-enabled drivers such as Belkin
802 .11g products .
