I am having a problem with my Belkin F5D7230-4 wireless router.
I am using Firmware 4.03.03 which is currently the latest.
The problem I am having is while trying to set the 128bit WEP 13 hex
digit pairs.
There is an option to automatically generate the key by typing a
passphrase into a box. Here is where my problem is.
According to the manual there is a generate button next to the
passphrase text box but on my router there is no generate button.
I put the passphrase in and just hit Enter. The page went away and did
something but came back with no key auto generated.
I then tried entering my own WEP key.
I generated my own 13 hex digit pairs and inputed them into the boxes
provided and hit apply changes.
The page goes away again then comes back and all the boxes are empty
and my laptop using a belkin 54g card cannot connect to the internet
anymore.
I tried setting the key on the laptop thinking maybe the router just
doesn't display the key for security reasons but the laptop refuses to
connect.
If I disable the security the laptop comes back to life and everythings
fine..
This is extremely frustrating any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
