I am having difficulty setting up Wired equivalent Privacy (WeP)
security on my belkin Router .
1 . Log into your Router .
Open your web browser and type in the IP address of the Router . (The
Router's default is 192 . 1 68 .2 . 1 .) Log into your Router by clicking on the
"Login" button in the top right-hand corner of the screen . You will be
asked to enter your password . If you never set a password, leave the
"Password" field blank and click "Submit" .
Click the "Wireless" tab on the left of your screen . Select the
"Encryption" or "Security" tab to get to the security settings page .
2 . Select "128-bit WEP" from the drop-down menu .
3 . After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can type in your
hex WEP key manually, or you can type in a passphrase in the
"Passphrase" field and click "Generate" to create a WEP key from
the passphrase . Click "Apply Changes" to finish . You must now set
all of your clients to match these settings . A hex (hexadecimal) key is
a mixture of numbers and letters from A-F and 0-9 . For 128-bit WEP,
you need to enter 26 hex keys .
For example:
C3 03 0f af 4b b2 C3 d4 4b C3 d4 e7 e4 = 128-bit key
4 . Click "Apply Changes" to finish . Encryption in the Router is now set .
Each of your computers on your wireless network will now need to be
configured with the same security settings .
WaRNINg: If you are configuring the Router from a computer with a
wireless client, you will need to ensure that security is turned on for this
wireless client . If this is not done, you will lose your wireless connection .

Note to Mac Users: Original Apple AirPort products support 64-bit
encryption only . Apple AirPort 2 products can support 64-bit or 128-
bit encryption . Please check your Apple AirPort product to see which
version you are using . If you cannot configure your network with 128-bit
encryption, try 64-bit encryption .
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" .
