Troubleshooting

Problem:

How do I extend the range of my wireless network?

Solution:

Belkin recommends using one of the following products to extend wireless network coverage throughout large homes or offices:

•The WURE can double the coverage area of your wireless network. The WURE is typically placed in the area not currently covered by your wireless router, and connected to the router using either an Ethernet cable, or through your home’s power lines using two Powerline Ethernet adapters.

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). Open your web browser and type in the IP address of the Wireless Router (or Access Point). (The Router’s default is 192.168.2.1 and the 802.11g Access Point’s default 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”.

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

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

3.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 combination of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9. For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 hex characters.

For example:

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