login to your router from a browser to 192.168.1.1 the default login is blank password is admin if you have not changed it. go to wireless. then to wireless security. select wpa/wpa2. type in a passphase. any wireless devices will need this password/passphase to connect to your wifi network.

if your connecting all your computers wirelessly then you can setup encryption for your wireless network.

all wireless devices will need to be reconfigured to the new passphase/password in order to use your secured wireless network.

Hi,

Welcome to Fixya. If you need the Security key or Network Key you need to access the Wireless Settings Page.

To access the router page just open a browser then type 192.168.1.1, the Default username is blank and the password is admin. Go to the Wireless Tab select Wireless Security under the Security Mode you will see there Network Key or Wep Key. The Network Key or Wep Key serves as a password or security code on your network to make it secure.
You can also reset the router by pressing the Reset button at the back of it for 15-30 seconds using a Pen and a Paper Clip.

If this works dont forget to say thanks. Thanks for using Fixya.

Hello,

I'm afraid your only option is to get the drivers one way or the other before you can connect to the internet or the network.

What I recommend is simply downloading the drivers from another computer that has access to the internet and transfering the driver package with a USB key or an other portable storage device.

Thanks,

Pat

You do not need a bridge if you are using a wireless adaptor on your pc in the other room. Just set up the Belkin Plus router to the WEP security settings you want and make sure the pc wireless usb adaptor has the same settings as the router. You should be good to go. Good Luck.

WPA requires an group of alpha numeric sequences for encrypting data between the wireless card on the computer and the wireless access point/router.
These sequences are hard to remember when setting up the wireless Access point/router soa passphase is used to generate these alpha numeric sequences, just use any english phrases such as "I love you 2 pieces", then this can be used to configure your wireless card on your computer.

Go into the admin of your router. By default it should be http://192.168.0.1

user id: admin
password: linksys

select wireless.

I use 64 bit wep encryption because I have cell phones and pdas that can use basic wep encryption. If you have other appliances in your house running wireless 128 bit encryption may not work on those devices.

You can create a phrase. It will generate a 4 keys for you based on the passphase given. It defaults to the first one. You might want to print the screen out. Save it to your router.

Rescan the network on your routers. You will be prompted to insert the key. Use the key 1 settings and save it.
