Using the Belkin Wireless Network Utility

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 the Belkin Wireless Router (or Access Point) these security features can be configured by using the web-based interface. See your Wireless Router (or Access Point) User Manual for directions on how to access the management interface.

Changing the Wireless Security Settings

The Belkin Dual-Band Wireless A+G Router is 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. To access the security settings, click “Security” on the wireless section using the web-based interface. (Please see your wireless router or access point manual for directions on how to access the security settings.)
