Hi Clark,

I got your issue, Inorder to enable the security on your belkin router

1. Open Internet explorer and in the address bar type 192.168.2.1 and hit enter
2. You will be logged into the belkin router setup,it will ask for login password, leave it blank and click on submit
3. In the left side Under WIRELESS , click on SECURITY
4. If the security mode says disabled, click on drop down arrow and select 64 bit WEP and it will show up KEY1, in key 1 type any ten digit number (2nos in each box) and apply changes

From now your network is secured with WEP security.

Thanks & Regards,
Prema.

Use a wired computer to access the setup page of the router.

On the browser's address bar, type 192.168.2.1.

By default, leave the password field blank.

Once on the setup page of the router, go to Wireless then Security. You can get the WEP key from this screen.

Or if you would like to turn off wireless security, just change the security mode.

However, I strongly suggest to enable wireless security so that other people will not be able to use your wireless network.

I hope this helps!

Just connect to the network... Simply open the icon in the far bottom right hand corner ; with the 2 double little PC icon; WLAN icon . Right click >> Then "Connect to a Network" >> Look for your own wireless network >> then connect >> will ask for the WEP key - log it in >> Then Connect.

You need to know the wireless settings on the Dlink router first. To check the wireless settings, you need to use a wired computer to the router.

Then in the address bar of a web browser (Internet explorer or firefox), type 192.168.0.1.

By default, the user name is Admin and leave the password empty.

Go to Wireless Settings. Take note of the following:

1. Enable wireless should be checked.
2. Take note of the wireless network name. You may change this into a unique name so that you can easily determine your own wireless network.
3. Visibility status should be Visible.
4. Under Wireless security mode, it depends on you if you would like to enable it or not. If you would like to enable the security, just select WEP. Then enter the WEP Key 1. This is like a password for your wireless network, use letters from A-F and numbers from 0-9.

Then click Save Settings.

Once the belkin wireless adapter is installed properly on your computer, there are 2 ways to connect to your wireless network.

Either you use the Belkin WLAN monitor or the Wireless network connection (for Windows OS). When you view the available networks or Site survey, you will see the wireless network name on your router. It will prompt you for a network key if wireless security is enabled.

Make sure you enter the WEP key 1 in your router. This is case sensitive.

I hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi Friend,
U need to make your wireless network a security enabled network & don't share the wireless network key to a unreliable person.

Steps to create a security enabled wireless network:-

1> login to router setup page;bydefault ip address of belkin router is 192.168.0.1/192.168.2.1
2> Open a internet browser on a hardwired desktop/laptop connected to your router,clear the address bar completely and then type 192.168.0.1 or, 192.168.2.1<it depends on your model no of your router>
3> Go to Wireless Tab,changed the wireless network name(SSID)
4> Change the wireless network key as well;it will be good if you use WEP key if you old XP computer,otherwise use WPA-TKIP if you vista/win7 computers
5> Lastly on your computers,you have to seach wireless network name & give the wireless network key(for the very first time)

In case of any clarity feel free to contact belkin tech support

You set your security by enabling WEP.

When you get in the interface to configure WEP, set a pass phrase. Write down the 3 numeric keys it generates. Then connect to the wireless using your laptop, etc. When it asks for your passkey, do not enter the pass-phrase; enter one of the three keys that were generated by the router. That's the biggest mistake people make when trying to get wireless to work.

you have to check if you have the wep key enabled. when you put in the wep key, it should also be enabled so that your wireless network should say security-enabled wireless network. make sure to disconnect and connect again on your network after changing the settings to refresh your connection. hope this helps.

are you typing the correct upper or lower case and not confusing zeros with the letter 'O'

1.go to routers' setup, enable wep security and in wep menu insert a number about 8 digits
2.then go to wireless connection on your pc and in security menu enable it and check wep key
