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 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 Wireless

802�11g Desktop 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�

Download the latest drivers at http://www�belkin�com/support�

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� This can be from eight to 63 characters

and can be letters, numbers, 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�
