WPA2 requires Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for encryption of
data, which offers much greater security than WPA. WPA uses both
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and (AES) for encryption.
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’s (or access
point’s) manual for directions on how to access the management
interface.
IMPORTANT: You must now set all wireless network cards/adapters
to match these settings.
Configuring your Adapter to use Security
At this point, you should already have your wireless router (or access point) set
to use WPA or WEP. In order for you to gain wireless connection, you will need
to set your Wireless G+ MIMO USB Network Adapter to use the same security
settings.

Changing the Wireless Security Settings

The Belkin Wireless G+ MIMO USB Network Adapter supports the
latest WPA security feature as well as the legacy WEP security
standard. By default, wireless security is disabled.
To enable security, you will first need to determine which standard
is used by the router (or access point). (See your wireless router’s or
access point’s manual for directions on how to access the security
settings.)
To access the security settings on your Adapter, click the “My
Connections” tab and point to the connection for which you want to
change security settings. Click “Edit” to change settings.
