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?
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://www.microsoft.com/downloads
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.

I am having difficulty setting up Wireless Protected Access
(WPA) security on my Belkin Router for a home network.
1. From the “Security Mode” drop-down menu, select “WPA-PSK
(no server)”.
2. For “Encryption Technique”, select “TKIP” or “AES”. This setting
will have to be identical on the clients that you set up.
3. Enter your pre-shared key. This can be from eight to 63
characters and can be letters, numbers, symbols, or spaces.
This same key must be used on all of the clients that you set up.
For example, your PSK might be something like: “Smith family
network key”.
4. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all clients to
match these settings.
