3. Router PIN: If an external registrar is available, you may enter in the
Router’s PIN to the registrar. Click “Generate New PIN” to change the PIN
from the default value. Click “Restore Default PIN” to reset the PIN value.
4. Push Button Configuration (PBC) Method: PBC is an alternate method to
connect to a WPS network. Push the PBC button located on the back of
the Router for two seconds, and then initiate the PBC on the client device.
Alternatively, push the “Start PBC” soft button to start this process.
5. Manual Configuration Method: This section lists the default security
settings to be set up if not using WPS.
WPA2 Requirements
IMPORTANT:
In order to use WPA2 security, all your computers and wireless
client adapters must be upgraded with patches, driver, and client utility software
that supported WPA2. At the time of this User Manual’s publication, a couple
security patches are available, for free download, from Microsoft®. These
patches work only with the Windows XP operating system. Other operating
systems are not supported at this time.
For Windows XP computers that do not have Service Pack 2 (SP2), a file
from Microsoft called “Windows XP Support Patch for Wireless Protected
Access (KB 826942)” is available for free download at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826942
For Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Microsoft has released a free
download to update the wireless client components to support WPA2
(KB971021). The update is available from:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917021
These steps are not necessary for Windows XP SP3 and above.
IMPORTANT:
You also need to ensure that all your wireless client
cards/adapters support WPA2, and that you have downloaded and installed the
latest driver. Most of the Belkin wireless cards have driver updates available for
download from the Belkin support site: www.belkin.com/networking.
Setting WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)
Like WPA security, WPA2 is available in both WPA2-Personal (PSK) mode and
WPA2-Enterprise (RADIUS) mode. Typically, WPA2-Personal (PSK) is the mode
that will be used in a home environment, while WPA2-Enterprise (RADIUS) is
implemented in a business environment where an external radius server
distributes the network key to the clients automatically. Your Router supports
WPA2-Personal (PSK).
