Configuring your Adapter to use Security

At this point, you should already have your wireless router (or access
point) set to use WPA or WEP. In order for you to gain wireless
connection, you must set your N+ Wireless USB Adapter to use the
same security settings.
Changing the Wireless Security Settings
Your Belkin N+ Wireless USB Adapter supports advanced security
technology, including Wi-Fi Protected Access™ 2 (WPA2™), Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP), and Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS),
which simplifies the setup of a wireless network. WPS uses familiar
methodologies, such as typed Personal Identification Number (PIN)
entry and push-button network-name configuration. This automatically
enables strong WPA/WPA2 data encryption and authentication.

Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Wi-Fi Protected Setup is only supported with the Belkin utility on
Windows 2000 and XP.
When attempting to connect to a WPS-enabled network, the following
screen will appear:
1. Personal Identification Number (PIN) Method: In this method, your
N+ Wireless USB Adapter generates a PIN to be entered into your
router.
2. Connect to an Open AP: Select this option if your router supports
WPS, but does not currently have security enabled.
3. Advanced Configuration Method: For manual connection to a
secured network.
