Using the Belkin Wireless LAN Utility

In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters between A–F and 0–9 in each box. You will use this key to program the encryption settings on your Wirelesss Router (or Access Point) and your wireless computers.

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 or 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.)

Changing the Wireless Security Settings

The Belkin Wireless G Router and Range Extender/Access Point are equipped with the latest WPA security feature. They also support the legacy WEP security standard. By default, wireless security

is disabled.

To enable security, you will need to determine which standard you want to use (see page 19). To access the security settings, click “Security” on the wireless section using the web-based interface. (See your wireless router or access point manual for directions on how to access the security settings.)
