Troubleshooting
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:
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.
Original Apple AirPort products support 64-bit
