Problem:
I am having difficulty setting up Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security
on a Belkin client card (Wireless Network Card or Adapter)�
solution:
The client card must use the same key as the G Wireless Router or
access point� For instance, if your Wireless Router or access point uses
the key 00112233445566778899AABBCC, then the client card must be
set to the exact same key�
1�
Double-click the "Signal Indicator" icon to bring up the "Wireless
Network Utility" screen� The "Advanced" button will allow you to
view and configure more options of your client card�
2�
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 client card�
3�
Under the "Wireless Network Properties" tab, select a
network name from the "Available Networks" list and click the
"Properties" button�

Under "Data Encryption", select "WEP"�
5�
Ensure the 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�
6�
Type your WEP key in the "Network key" box�
Important: A WEP key is a combination of numbers and letters from
A–F and 0–7� For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 keys� This network
key needs to match the key you assign to your G Wireless Router or
access point�
For example: C3030faf4bb2C3d44bC3d4e7e4 = 128-bit key
7�
Click "OK", and then "Apply" to save the settings�
If you are NOT using a Belkin wireless client card, please consult the
manufacturer's user manual for that wireless client card�
