Configuring Your Card To Use Security - Belkin F5D8013 Manuel De L'utilisateur

Using the Belkin Wireless Networking Utility
WPA
WPA is a new Wi-Fi standard that improves upon the security features
of WEP. To use WPA security, the drivers and software of your
wireless equipment must be upgraded to support it. These updates
will be found on your wireless vendor's website. There are three types
of WPA security: WPA-PSK (no server),WPA (with radius server), and
WPA2.
WPA-PSK (no server) uses what is known as a pre-shared key as
the network key. A network key is a password that is between eight
and 63 characters long. It can be a combination of letters, numbers,
or characters. Each client uses the same network key to access
the network. Typically, this is the mode that will be used in a home
environment.
WPA (with radius server) works best in a business environment, in
which a radius server automatically distributes the network key to
clients.
WPA2 requires Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for encryption of
data, which offers much greater security than WPA. WPA uses both
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and AES for encryption.
Setting up your Belkin Wireless Router (or Access Point)
to use Security
To start using security, you need to first enable WEP or WPA for
your wireless router (or access point). For Belkin Wireless Routers
(or Access Points), these security features can be configured by
using the web-based interface. See your wireless router's (or access
point's) manual for directions on how to access the management
interface.
IMPORTANT: You must now set all wireless network cards/adapters
to match these settings.

Configuring your Card to use Security

At this point, you should already have your wireless router (or access point) set
to use WPA or WEP. In order for you to gain wireless connection, you will need
to set your N Wireless Notebook Card to use the same security settings.
