Problem:

Do Belkin products support WPA?

solution:
note:
To use WPA security, all your clients must be upgraded to drivers

and software that support it� At the time of this FAQ publication, a

security patch download is available, for free, from Microsoft� This patch

works only with the Windows XP operating system�

Download the patch here:

http://www�microsoft�com/downloads/details�aspx?FamilyID=009d8425-

ce2b-47a4-abec-274845dc9e91&displaylang=en

You also need to download the latest driver for your Belkin 802�11g

Wireless Desktop Network Card or Notebook Network Card from the

Belkin support site� Other operating systems are not supported at this

time� Microsoft’s patch only supports devices with WPA-enabled drivers

such as Belkin 802�11g products�

Problem:

I am having difficulty setting up Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security

on a Belkin Wireless Router or Belkin Access Point for a home network�

solution:

1

From the “Security Mode” drop-down menu, select “WPA-PSK

(no server)”�

2

For “Encryption Technique”, select “TKIP” or “AES”� This setting

will have to be identical on the clients that you set up�

3

Enter your pre-shared key (PSK)� This can be from eight to 63

characters and can be letters, numbers, or symbols or spaces�

This same key must be used on all of the clients that you set up�

For example, your PSK might be something like: “Smith family

network key”�

4

Click “Apply Changes” to finish� You must now set all clients to

match these settings�
