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. 46

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.
