Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
WEP Setup
64-Bit WEP Encryption
1
Select “64-bit WEP” from the drop-down menu.
2.
After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter your
key by typing in the hex key manually, or you can type in a
passphrase in the “Passphrase” field and click “Generate” to
create a key.
A hex (hexadecimal) key is a mixture of numbers and letters from
A–F and 0–9. For 64-bit WEP, you need to enter 10 hex keys.
For instance:
AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit WEP key
3.
Click “Apply Changes” to finish. Encryption in the Router is now
set. Each of your computers on your wireless network will now
need to be configured with the same security settings.
WARNING:
If you are configuring the Wireless 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, you
will lose your wireless connection.

Changing the Wireless Security Settings
Your Router is equipped with WPA (Wireless 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 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.
There are two types of WPA security: WPA-PSK (no server) and WPA
(with radius server). WPA-PSK (no server) uses a so-called Pre-
Shared key as the security key. A Pre-Shared key is a password that
is between 8 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.
WPA (with radius server) is a configuration wherein a radius server
distributes the keys to the clients automatically. This is typically used
in a business environment.
Setting WPA-PSK (no server)
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 8 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. For example, your PSK
might be something like: “Smith family network key”.

Setting WPA (with radius server) Settings
If your network uses a radius server to distribute keys to the clients,
use this setting.
1.
From the “Security Mode” drop-down menu, select
“WPA—Radius 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 the IP address of the radius server into the “Radius
Server” fields.
4.
Enter the radius key into the “Radius Key” field.
5.
Enter the key interval. Key interval is how often the keys are
distributed (in packets).
6.
Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all clients to
match these settings.

Configuring your Belkin Wireless G Network Cards to
Use Security
Please Note:
This section is to provide you with the information on how
to configure your Belkin Wireless G Network Cards to use security.
At this point, you should already have your Wireless Router or Access
Point set to use WPA or WEP. In order for you to gain a wireless
connection, you will need to set your wireless notebook card and
wireless desktop card to use the same security settings.
Connecting your Computer to a Wireless Network that Requires a
64-bit or 128-bit WEP key:
1.
Double-click the Signal Indicator icon to bring up the Wireless
Network screen. The Advanced button will allow you to view and
configure more options of your card.
2.
Under the “Wireless Network Properties” tab, select a network
name from the “Available networks” list and click “Configure”.
3.
Under “Data Encryption” select “WEP”.
4.
Ensure the check box “Network 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.
5.
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. For
64-bit WEP, you need to
enter 10 keys. This Network
key needs to match the key
you assign to your Wireless
Router or Access Point.
6.
Click “OK” to save
the settings.
