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 Adapter 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 N Wireless
ExpressCard Adapter to use the same security settings.
Changing the Wireless Security Settings
Your Belkin N Wireless ExpressCard Adapter supports advanced security
technology, including Wi-Fi Protected Access™ 2 (WPA2™), Wired Equivalent
Privacy (WEP), and Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS), which simplifies the setup
of a wireless network. WPS uses familiar methodologies, such as typed Personal
Identification Number (PIN) entry and push-button network-name configuration.
This automatically enables strong WPA/WPA2 data encryption and
authentication.
Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup
When attempting to connect to a WPS-enabled network, the following screen will
appear:
1. Personal Identification Number (PIN) Method: In this method, your N
Wireless ExpressCard Adapter generates a PIN to be entered into your
router.
