Changing the Wireless Security Settings

Your Router is equipped with WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), the latest wireless
security standard. It also supports the legacy security standard, WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy). By default, wireless security is disabled. To enable security,
you must first determine which standard you want to use. To access the security
settings, click “Security” on the Wireless tab.

WPA Setup

Note:

To use WPA security, all your clients must be upgraded to drivers and

software that support it. At the time of this User Manual’s publication, a security
patch download is available free from Microsoft. This patch works only with the
Windows XP operating system. You also need to download the latest driver for
your Belkin Wireless G 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.

There are two types of WPA security: WPA-PSK (no server) and WPA (with
radius server). WPA-PSK (no server) uses a so-called Pre-Shared key as the
security key. A Pre-Shared key is a password that is between eight and 63
characters long. It can be a combination of letters, numbers, and other
characters. Each client uses the same key to access the network. Typically, this
mode will be used in a home environment.

WPA (with radius server) is a configuration wherein a radius server distributes
the keys to the clients automatically. This is typically used in a business
environment.

Setting WPA-PSK (no server)

1.

From the “Security Mode” drop-down menu, select “WPA-PSK (no server)”.

2.

For Encryption Technique, select “TKIP” or “AES”. This setting will have to be

identical on the clients that you set up.

3.

Enter your Pre-Shared key. This can be from eight to 63 characters and can

be letters, numbers, or symbols. This same key must be used on all of the clients
that you set up. For example, your PSK might be something like: “Smith family
network key”.

4.

Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all clients to match these
settings.
