1. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS): Enabled or Disabled.
2. Personal Identification Number (PIN) Method: In this method, a
wireless client wishing to access your network must supply an
8-digit PIN to the Router. After clicking “Enroll”, you must start the
WPS handshaking procedure from the client within two minutes.
3. Router PIN: If an external registrar is available, you may enter in the
Router’s PIN to the registrar. Click “Generate New PIN” to change
the PIN from the default value. Click “Restore Default PIN” to reset
the PIN value.
4. Push Button Configuration (PBC) Method: PBC is an alternate
method to connect to a WPS network. Click the “Start PBC” button
to start this process. After clicking “Start PBC”, you must start the
WPS handshaking procedure from the client within two minutes.
5. Manual Configuration Method: This section lists the current
security settings to set up in your client devices.
The Router features WPA2, which is the second generation of the
WPA-based 802.11i standard. It offers a higher level of wireless security
by combining advanced network authentication and stronger Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) encryption methods.
WPA Setup
Note: To use WPA security, all your clients must be upgraded to
drivers and software that support it. At the time of this User Manual’s
publication, a security patch download is available, for free, from
Microsoft
®
. This patch works only with the Windows XP operating
system. You also need to download the latest driver for your Belkin
Wireless G Desktop or Notebook Network Card from the Belkin support
site. Other operating systems are not supported at this time. Microsoft’s
patch only supports devices with WPA-enabled drivers such as Belkin
802.11g products.
WPA uses a so-called pre-shared key as the security key. A pre-shared
key is a password that is between eight and 63 characters long. It can
be a combination of letters, numbers, and other characters. Each client
uses the same key to access the network. Typically, this mode will be
used in a home environment.
WPA2 is the second generation of WPA, offering a more advanced
encryption technique over WPA.
