Problem:
i am having difficulty setting up Wired equivalent Privacy (WeP) security on a Belkin Wireless router or Belkin Access Point�
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�
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�
