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) manual for directions on how to access the management interface.

Changing the Wireless Security Settings

The Belkin Wireless G Router and Belkin Wireless G 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.
