Troubleshooting

5.Under “Data Encryption” select “WEP”.

6.Ensure the check box “The key is provided for me automatically” at the bottom is unchecked. If you are using this computer to connect to a corporate network, please consult your network administrator if this box needs to be checked.

7.Type your WEP key in the “Network key” box.

Important: A WEP key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9. For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 keys. This Network key needs to match the key you assign to your Wireless Router or access point.

For example:

C3 03 0F AF 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 E4 = 128-bit key

8.Click “OK”, and then “Apply” to save the settings.

If you are NOT using a Belkin Wireless Card, please consult the manufacturer for that wireless client card’s user manual.

Problem:

Do Belkin products support WPA?

Solution

Note: To use WPA security, all your clients must be upgraded to drivers and software that support it. At the time of this FAQ publication, a security patch download is available, for free, from Microsoft. This patch works only with the Windows XP operating system.

Download the patch here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=009d8425-ce2b- 47a4-abec-274845dc9e91&displaylang=en

You also need to download the latest driver for your Belkin Wireless 802.11g 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.

Download the latest driver at: http://web.belkin.com/support/networkingsupport.asp.

WPA support will also be automatically installed if you upgrade your system to Windows XP Service pack 2. Detials about this can be found at http:// support.microsoft.com
