Only supports WEP for security. If you currently use WPA you will need to disable that and use the relatively insecure WEP. FYI

Review from Amazon:

I'm writing this review because I have had a hard time getting this information so, hopefully, this will help some of you out.

I have a Belkin Pre-N Router and the F5D7330 ethernet adaptor. The adaptor is plugged into my Xbox.

Out of the box, the F5D7330 does not support WPA-PSK encryption, only 128bit or 64bit WEP. To enable WPA-PSK you need to download the firmware upgrade from here:

edit: OK, so Amazon remove links - the file is on the US Belkin site, in the support pages for the F5D7330.

The file you will download is a zip file, extract the firmware file relevent to your country (US or UK). Inside the zip file is a *second* zip file. This contains the new Setup.exe program that will enable you to change the encryption settings to WPA-PSK.

Link
..should be able to update to WPA there. However it's 1.00.09 onwards that supports it according to the UK site which is more descriptive so..
Link
..just download it there if that link doesn't work. So regardless...this will support WPA version 1 or version 2

as long as its WPA-AES or WPA2-AES you are good. the TKIP is the one that is bad.

TKIP+AES is also bad since you allow both.

WPA-(pre-shared-key) AES = good to go for today.

It also will run the micro version of the DD-WRT alternative firmware.

Can I use it as a Wireless router?

For my PC and laptop.

Thanks.

Thanks OP. The ones I ordered last week are scheduled for delivery today, even though the free shipping option says 7-9 days.
