I am having difficulty setting up Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
security on a Belkin client card.
The client card must use the same key as the Router. For instance, if
your Router uses the key 00112233445566778899AABBCC, then the
client card must be set to the exact same key.
1.
Double-click the Signal Indicator icon to bring up the “Wireless
Network” screen.
2.
The “Advanced” button will allow you to view and configure more
options of the card.
3.
Once the “Advanced” button is clicked, the Belkin Wireless LAN
Utility will appear. This Utility will allow you to manage all the
advanced features of the Belkin Wireless Card.
4.
Under the “Wireless Network Properties” tab, select a
network name from the “Available Networks” list and click the
“Properties” button.
5.
Under “Data Encryption”, select “WEP”.
6.
Ensure 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:
C3030FAF4BB2C3D44BC3D4E7E4
= 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/WPA2?
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/details.
You also need to download the latest driver for your Belkin Wireless
802.11g 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.
Download the latest driver at http://www.belkin.com/support
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.

I am NOT using a Belkin client card for a home network and
I am having difficulty setting up Wireless Protected Access
(WPA) security.
If you are not using a Belkin Wireless Desktop or Wireless Notebook
Network Card that 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. Download the
patch from Microsoft by searching the knowledge base for Windows
XP WPA.
Note:
The file that Microsoft has made available works only with
Windows XP. Other operating systems are not supported at this
time. You also need to ensure that the wireless card’s 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
1.
Under Windows XP, click “Start > Control Panel >
Network Connections”.
2.
Right-clicking on the “Wireless Networks” tab will display the
following screen. Ensure the “Use Windows to configure my
wireless network settings” check box is checked.

What’s the difference between 802.11g and draft 802.11n?
Currently there are three commonly used wireless networking
standards, which transmit data at very different maximum speeds.
Each is based on the designation for certifying network standards.
The most common wireless networking standard, 802.11g, can
transmit information up to 54Mbps; 802.11a also supports up to
54Mbps, but in the 5GHz frequency; and 802.11n draft specification
can connect at up to 300Mbps. See the chart on the next page for
more detailed information.

following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
Caution : Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation.
The radiated output power of this device is far below the FCC radio frequency
exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device shall be used in such a manner that the
potential for human contact normal operation is minimized.

not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
97
Information
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. this device may not cause interference and
2. this device must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication. This
device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain
of [2] dBi. Antenna having a high gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of
Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not
more than that permitted for successful communication.
