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 .
N+ Wireless Router
1 2 3 4 5 6
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?
