USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
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. Push the PBC
button located on the back of the Router for two seconds, and then
initiate the PBC on the client device. Alternatively, push the “Start PBC”
soft button to start this process.
5. Manual Configuration Method
This section lists the default security settings to be set up if not using
WPS.
WPA2 Requirements
IMPORTANT: In order to use WPA2 security, all your computers and
wireless client adapters must be upgraded with patches, driver, and
client utility software that supported WPA2. At the time of this User
Manual’s publication, a couple security patches are available, for free
download, from Microsoft®. These patches work only with the Windows
XP operating system. Other operating systems are not supported at this
time.
For Windows XP computers that do not have Service Pack 2 (SP2),
a file from Microsoft called “Windows XP Support Patch for Wireless
Protected Access (KB 826942)” is available for free download at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826942
For Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Microsoft has released a
free download to update the wireless client components to support
WPA2 (KB971021). The update is available from: http://support.
microsoft.com/kb/917021
These steps are not necessary for Windows XP SP3 and above.
IMPORTANT: You also need to ensure that all your wireless client cards/
adapters support WPA2, and that you have downloaded and installed
the latest driver. Most of the Belkin wireless cards have driver updates
available for download from the Belkin support site: www.belkin.com/
networking.
