Securing your Wireless Network

Most wireless products ship with security turned off. So once you have your network working, you may need to activate WEP or WPA and make sure all your wireless devices are sharing the same network key.

The following diagram shows the effect of not having the correct network key throughout your network.

The Card cannot access the network because it uses a different network key than the one configured on the wireless router.

Setting Up your Belkin Wireless Router or Access Point to Use Security

To start using security, you need to first enable WEP or WPA for your wireless router (or access point). For Belkin Wireless Routers and Access Points, these security features can be configured by using the web-based interface. (See your wireless router or access point manual for directions on how to access the management interface.)
