To start using security, you must 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 through 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 must set
your N Wireless USB Adapter to use the same security settings.
Changing the Wireless Security Settings
Your Belkin N Wireless USB 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 USB Adapter generates a PIN to be entered into your router.
2. Push-Button Configuration (PBC) Method.
