Manually Configuring your Router
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/WPA2 (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 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
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.
WPA (with radius server) is a configuration wherein a radius
server distributes the keys to the clients automatically.
This is typically use d in a business environment.
WPA2 is the second generation of WPA, offering a more
advanced encryption technique over WPA.

Setting WPA/WPA2-PSK (no server)
1.
From the “Allowed Client Type” drop-down menu, select “WPA/
WPA2”.
2.
For Authentication, select “Pre-shared Key” for typical home/SOHO
use. 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, 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”.
4.
Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all clients to
match these settings.
Setting WPA/WPA2 (with radius server) Settings
If your network uses a radius server to distribute
keys to the clients, use this setting.
1.
From the “Allowed Client Type” drop-down menu, select “WPA/
WPA2”.
2.
For Encryption Technique, select “802.1x” for environment with
RADIUS server. This setting will have to be identical on the clients
that you set up.
3.
Enter the session idle timeout of the radius server into the “Session
Idel Timeout” field.
4.
Enter the key interval, how often the keys are distributed (in
packets), in the “Re-Authentication Period” field.

“Server-IP” and “Server-Port” fields.
7.
Enter the radius key into the “Secret Key” field.
8.
Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all clients to
match these settings.
Note
: Make sure your wireless computers are updated to work with WPA2
and have the correct settings to get proper connection to the Router.
Configuring your Belkin Wireless G
Network Cards to Use Security
Please Note:
This section
provides 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 wireless card.
2.
Under the “Wireless Network Properties” tab, select a network name

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.
