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 characters.
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.

Manually Configuring your Router
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 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 used
in a business environment.

Setting WPA-PSK (no server)
1.
From the “Security Mode” drop-down menu, select “WPA-PSK
(no server)”.

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.

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.
