Troubleshooting

Limiting the wireless transmit rate - Limiting the wireless transmit rate can help improve the maximum wireless range, and connection stability. Most wireless cards have the ability to limit the transmission rate. To change this property, go to the Windows Control Panel, open “Network Connections” and double-click on your wireless card’s connection. In the “Properties” dialog, select the “Configure” button on the “General” tab (Windows 98 users will have to select the wireless card in the list box and then click “Properties”), then choose the “Advanced” tab and select the rate property. Wireless client cards are usually set to automatically adjust the wireless transmit rate for you, but doing so can cause periodic disconnects when the wireless signal is too weak; as a rule, slower transmission rates are more stable. Experiment with different connection rates until you find the best one for your environment; note that all available transmission rates should be acceptable for browsing the Internet. For more assistance, see your wireless card’s user manual.

Problem:

I am having difficulty setting up Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security on a Belkin Router or Belkin Access Point.

Solution

1.Log into your Wireless Router or access point.

2.Open your web browser and type in IP address of the Wireless Router or access point. (The Router default is 192.168.2.1, the 802.11g access point is 192.168.2.254 ). Log into your Router by clicking on the “Login” button in the top right-hand corner of the screen. You will be asked to enter your password. If you never set a password, leave the password field blank and

click “Submit”.

3.Click the “Wireless” tab on the left of your screen. Select the “Encryption” or “Security” tab to get to the security settings page.

4.Select “128-bit WEP” from the drop-down menu.

5.After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can type in your hex WEP key manually, or you can type in a passphrase in the “Passphrase” field and click “Generate” to create a WEP key from the passphrase. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all of your clients to match these settings. A hex (hexadecimal) key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A-F
