WPA (with radius server) works best in a business environment, in which a
radius server automatically distributes the network key to clients.
WPA2 requires Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for encryption of data,
which offers much greater security than WPA. WPA uses both Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and (AES) for encryption.
Setting up your Belkin Wireless Router (or Access Point) to use Security
To start using security, you need to first enable WEP or WPA for your wireless
router (or access point). For Belkin Wireless Routers (or Access Points), these
security features can be configured by using the web-based interface. See your
wireless router's (or access point's) manual for directions on how to access the
management interface.
IMPORTANT: You must now set all wireless network cards/adapters to match these
settings.

Configuring your Belkin Wireless G Notebook Card 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 will need to set your Wireless G Notebook
Card to use the same security settings.
Changing the Wireless Security Settings
The Belkin Wireless G Notebook Card supports the latest WPA security feature as well as the
legacy WEP security standard. By default, wireless security is disabled.
To enable security, you will first need to determine which standard is used by the router (or
access point). (See your wireless router's or access point's manual for directions on how to
access the security settings.)
