If you are NOT using a Belkin wireless client card, please consult the
manufacturer’s user manual for that wireless client card.
Problem:
Do Belkin products support WPA?
Solution:
Note: To use WPA security, all your clients must be upgraded to drivers
and software that support it. At the time of this 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:

ce2b-47a4-abec-274845dc9e91&displaylang=en
You also need to download the latest driver for your Belkin Wireless
802.11g 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
wireless products.

Problem:
I am having difficulty setting up Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security
on a Belkin client card (Wireless Network Card or Adapter).
Solution:
The client card must use the same key as the G Wireless Router or
access point. For instance, if your Wireless Router or access point 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 Utility” screen. The “Advanced” button will allow you to view
and configure more options of your client card.
2. 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 client card.
3. Under the “Wireless Network Properties” tab, select a network name
from the “Available Networks” list and click the “Properties” button.
4. Under “Data Encryption”, select “WEP”.
5. Ensure the 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.
6. Type your WEP key in the “Network key” box.
IMPORTANT: A WEP key is a combination of numbers and letters
from A–F and 0–7. For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 keys. This
network key needs to match the key you assign to your G Wireless
Router or access point.
