Configuring Your Card To Use Security - Belkin N1 WIRELESS NOTEBOOK CARD F5D8011 User Manual

Using the Belkin Wireless Networking Utility

Configuring your 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 N1 Wireless Notebook Card to
use the same security settings.
Changing the Wireless Security Settings
The Belkin N1 Wireless 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.)
To access the security settings on your Card, click the "My
Connections" tab and point to the connection for which you want to
change security settings. Click "Edit" to change settings.

After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter your key
by typing in the hex key manually.

A–F and 0–9. For 64-bit WEP, you need to enter 10 hex keys.
For instance:
