Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
128-Bit WEP Encryption
Note to Mac users:
The passphrase option will not operate with
Apple AirPort. To configure encryption for your Mac computer, set the
encryption using the manual method described in the next section.
1.
Select “WEP” from the “Security” menu’s “Allowed Client Type”.
2.
Select “128-bit” as the WEP mode.
3.
After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter your
key by typing in the hex key manually, or you can put a check
mark in “Passphrase”, then type in your passphrase. Click “Apply
Changes” to generate four different hex keys.
A hex (hexadecimal) key is a combination of numbers and
letters from A–F and 0–9. For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter
26 hex keys.
For instance:
C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit WEP key
4.
Select the “Default Key ID” from the drop-down menu.
WARNING:
If you are configuring the Wireless G Router or access
point from a computer with a wireless client, you will need to ensure
that security is turned on for this wireless client. If this is not done,
your client will lose its wireless connection.

Changing the Wireless Security Settings
Your Router is equipped with WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), the
latest wireless security standard. It also supports the legacy security
standard, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). By default, wireless
security is disabled. To enable security, you must first determine
which standard you want to use. To access the security settings, click
“Security” on the “Wireless” tab.
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.

Setting WPA/WPA2
1.
Select “WPA/WPA2” or “WPA2 only” from the “Allowed Client Type”.
2.
Select “Pre-shared key” as the authentication type.
3.
Enter your pre-shared key. This can be from eight to 63
characters and can be letters, numbers, or symbols. This same
key must be used on all of the clients that you set up. This
pre-shared key will allow users full access to your network
including shared files and printers.
4.
Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all clients to
match these settings.
5.
Enter your pre-shared key for guest access. This can be from
eight to 63 characters and can be letters, numbers, or symbols.
This guest pre-shared key allows users only Internet access.
6.
Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all clients to
match these settings depending on the type of access you want
them to have.

Setting up WPA for Wireless Desktop and Wireless
Notebook Cards that are NOT Manufactured by Belkin
If you do NOT have a Belkin WPA Wireless Desktop or Wireless
Notebook Card, and it is not equipped with WPA-enabled software,
a file from Microsoft called “Windows XP Support Patch for Wireless
Protected Access” is available for free download.
Please Note:
The file that Microsoft has made available works only with
Windows XP. Other operating systems are not supported at this time.
Important:
You also need to ensure that the wireless card
manufacturer supports WPA and that you have downloaded and
installed the latest driver from their support site.
Supported Operating Systems:
• Windows XP Professional
• Windows XP Home Edition
Setting up Windows XP Wireless Network Utility to use
WPA-PSK
In order to use WPA-PSK, ensure you are using the Windows Wireless
Network Utility by doing the following:
1.
Under Windows XP, click “Start > Control Panel > Network Connections”.
2.
Right-click on “Wireless Network Connection
Properties”, and
select “Properties”.
3.
Clicking on the “Wireless Networks” tab will display the following

as a radius server. Please consult your network administrator for
further information.

Select “TKIP” or “AES” under “Data Encryption”. This setting will
have to be identical to the Router that you set up.
7.
Type your encryption key in the “Network key” box.
Important:
Enter your pre-shared key. This can be from eight to 63
characters and can be letters, numbers, or symbols. This same key
must be used on all of the clients that you set up.
