network will now need to be configured with the same
security settings.
WARNING:
If you are configuring the Wireless Router or Access
Point from a computer with a wireless client, you will need to ensure
that security is turned on for this wireless client. If this is not done,
you will lose your wireless connection.
Note to Mac users:
Original Apple AirPort
64-bit encryption only. Apple AirPort 2 products can support
64-bit or 128-bit encryption. Please check your Apple AirPort
product to see which version you are using. If you cannot configure
your network with 128-bit encryption, try 64-bit encryption.
Problem:
I am having difficulty setting up Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
security on a Belkin Wireless Card.
Solution:
The Wireless Card must use the same key as the Wireless Router or
access point. For instance, if your Wireless Router or access point
uses the key 00112233445566778899AABBCC, then the Wireless
Card must be set to the exact same key.
1.
Double-click the "Signal Indicator" icon to bring up the Wireless
"Network" screen. The "Advanced" button will allow you to view
and configure more options of your Card.
2.
The "Advanced" button will allow you to view and configure
more options of the 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 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 Wireless Router or access point.
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 Card, please consult the
manufacturer for that wireless client card's user manual.
Problem:
Do Belkin products support WPA?
Solution
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://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=009d8425-ce2b-
47a4-abec-274845dc9e91&displaylang=en
You also need to download the latest driver for your Belkin Wireless 802.11g
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.
Download the latest driver at:

WPA support will also be automatically installed if you upgrade your system
to Windows XP Service pack 2. Detials about this can be found at http://
