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, 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.
WPA 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.
WPA2 is the second generation of WPA, offering a more advanced
encryption technique over WPA.
