Troubleshooting

Limiting the wireless transmit rate - Limiting the wireless transmit

rate can help improve the maximum wireless range, and connection

stability. Most wireless cards have the ability to limit the transmission

rate. To change this property, go to the Windows Control Panel,

open “Network Connections” and double-click on your wireless

card’s connection. In the “Properties” dialog, select the “Configure”

button on the “General” tab (Windows 98 users will have to select the

wireless card in the list box and then click “Properties”), then choose

the “Advanced” tab and select the rate property. Wireless client cards

are usually set to automatically adjust the wireless transmit rate for

you, but doing so can cause periodic disconnects when the wireless

signal is too weak; as a rule, slower transmission rates are more

stable. Experiment with different connection rates until you find the

best one for your environment; note that all available transmission

rates should be acceptable for browsing the Internet. For more

assistance, see your wireless card’s user manual.

Problem:

I am having difficulty setting up Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

security on a Belkin Router or Belkin Access Point.

Solution

Log into your Wireless Router or access point.

2. Open your web browser and type in IP address of the Wireless

Router or access point. (The Router default is 192.168.2.1, the

802.11g access point 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”.

3. Click the “Wireless” tab on the left of your screen. Select

the “Encryption” or “Security” tab to get to the security

settings page.

4. Select “128-bit WEP” from the drop-down menu.

5. 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 mixture of numbers and letters from A-F
