Using the Belkin Wireless Networking Utility Configuring your Belkin Wireless G USB Network Adapter 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 G USB Network Adapter to use the same security settings. Changing the Wireless Security Settings Your Belkin Wireless G USB Network Adapter is equipped with the latest security standard called Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) and the legacy security standard called Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). It also supports the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) specification, which simplifies the setup of a wireless network. WPS uses familiar methodologies, such as typing in a Personal Identification Number (PIN) or pushing a button, to enable users to automatically configure network names and strong WPA/WPA2 data encryption and authentication. Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup When attempting to connect to a WPS-enabled network, the following screen will appear: There are two WPS options available: 1. Personal Identification Number (PIN) Method: In this method, your Wireless Adapter will generate a PIN to be entered into your router. 2. Push Button Configuration (PBC) Method: Your Wireless Adapter can also connect by using the software push button. Manual Configuration Method: This section lists the default security settings to be set up if not using WPS. 26
