Using the Belkin Wireless Networking Utility
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
adopted wireless security protocol. Depending on the security level (64-
or 128-bit), the user will be asked to input a 10- or 26-character hex key.
A hex key is a combination of letters, a–f, and numbers, 0–9.
Wireless Protected Access (WPA)
wireless security. However, not all wireless cards and adapters support
this technology. Please check your wireless adapter's user manual
to check if it supports WPA. Instead of a hex key, WPA uses only
passphrases, which are much easier to remember.
The following section, intended for the home, home-office, and small-
office user, presents a few different ways to maximize the security of
your wireless network.
