Problem:
I am having difficulty setting up Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security on a
Belkin Wireless 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, the 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 keys.
For example:
C3 03 0F AF 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 E4 = 128-bit key
4. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. Encryption in the Wireless Router is now set.
Each of your computers on your wireless network will now need to be
configured with the same security settings.
WARNING: If you are configuring the Wireless Router or Access Point from a
computer with a wireless client, you will need to ensure that security is turned
on for this wireless client. If this is not done, you will lose your wireless
connection.
Note to Mac users: Original Apple AirPort products support 64-bit encryption
only. Apple AirPort 2 products can support 64-bit or 128-bit encryption. Please
check your Apple AirPort product to see which version you are using. If you
cannot configure your network with 128-bit encryption, try 64-bit encryption.
