TROUBLESHOOTING
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”.
6. Ensure that the check box “The key is provided for me
automatically” at the bottom is unchecked. If you are using this
computer to connect to a corporate network, please consult your
network administrator if this box needs to be checked.
7. Type your WEP key in the “Network key” box.
Important: A WEP key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A-F and
0-9. For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 keys. This network key needs
to match the key you assign to your Router.
For example:
C3 03 0F AF 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 E4 = 128-bit key
8. Click “OK”, and then “Apply” to save the settings.
If you are not using a Belkin wireless client card, please consult the
manufacturer’s user manual for that wireless client card.
Do Belkin products support WPA/WPA2?
Note: To use WPA security, all your clients must be upgraded to drivers
and software that support it. At the time of this FAQ publication, a
security patch download is available, for free, from Microsoft. This patch
works only with the Windows XP operating system.
Download the patch here: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=826942
You also need to download the latest driver for your Belkin 802.11g
Wireless 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.
