Setting up a Belkin Router with WPA Security

Use these instructions to help you manually setup a Belkin wireless router.

  1. On the computer that is connected to the Internet, open a browser and go to http://192.168.2.1.
  2. This will take you to the Belkin router’s configuration page. Click on the Submit button without entering a password to login.
  3. On the left hand side of the resulting screen, click on Channel and SSID under the Wireless heading.
  4. The screen will change. In the SSID blank, please type HOME and then click the Apply Changes button. This will change the name of your wireless network from Belkin to HOME.
  5. Now click on the Security link under the Wireless heading.
  6. Use the Security Mode drop down menu to choose WPA/WPA-2 Personal Security (PSK).
  7. Use the Authentication drop down menu to choose WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK.
  8. Enter a password into the PSK (Pre-Shared Key) blank. This password must be at least 8 characters and is case sensitive. The password you choose will be the new password to connect to your wireless network.
  9. Click Apply Settings and then close the browser window.
