Securing your Wireless Network
Most wireless products ship with security turned off. So once you have
your network working, you may need to activate WEP or WPA and
make sure all your wireless devices are sharing the same network key.
The following diagram shows the effect of not having the correct
network key throughout your network.

The Card cannot access the network because it uses a different network key
than the one configured on the wireless router.
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 and
Access Points, these security features can be configured by using the
web-based interface. (See your wireless router or access point
manual for directions on how to access the management interface.)
