Problem:
I am having difficulty setting up Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security
on a Belkin Wireless Router or Belkin Access Point .
solution:
1 . Log into your Wireless Router or Access Point .
Open your web browser and type in the IP address of the Wireless
Router or Access Point . (The Router's default is 192 . 1 68 .2 . 1 , the Access
Point's default is 192 . 1 68 .2 .254 .) 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 combination 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 Wireless 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 Wireless Router or Access Point
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 .
