Problem:

I am having difficulty setting up Wired Equivalent

Privacy (WEP) security on a Belkin Wireless Card.

Solution:

The Wireless Card must use the same key as the Wireless

Router or Access Point. For instance, if your Wireless Router

or Access Point uses the key 00112233445566778899AABBCC,

then the Wireless Card must be set to the exact same key.

1. Double-click the “Signal Indicator” icon to bring up the

“Wireless Network” screen. The “Advanced” button will allow

you to view and configure more options of your Card.

2. The “Advanced” button will allow you to view

and configure more options of the card.

3. Once the “Advanced” button is clicked, the Belkin Wireless

LAN Utility will appear. This Utility will allow you to manage

all the advanced features of the Belkin Wireless Card.

4. Under the “Wireless Network Properties” tab, select

a network name from the “Available networks”

list and click the “Properties” button.

5. Under “Data Encryption” select “WEP”.

6. Ensure the check box “The key is provided for me

automatically” at the bottom is unchecked. If you are using this

computer to connect to a corporate network, please consult

your network administrator if this box needs to be checked.

7. Type your WEP key in the “Network key” box.

Important: A WEP key is a mixture of numbers and letters

from A–F and 0–9. For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter

26 keys. This network key needs to match the key you

assign to your Wireless Router or Access Point.

For example:

C3 03 0F AF 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 E4 = 128-bit key

Click “OK”, and then “Apply” to save the settings.

If you are NOT using a Belkin Wireless Card, please

consult the manufacturer for that card’s user manual.
