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�
