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:

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
wireless products .

Problem:
I am having difficulty setting up Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security
on a Belkin client card (Wireless Network Card or Adapter) .
solution:
The client card must use the same key as the G Wireless Router or
access point . For instance, if your Wireless Router or access point uses
the key 00112233445566778899AABBCC, then the client card must be
set to the exact same key .
1 . Double-click the “Signal Indicator” icon to bring up the “Wireless
Network Utility” screen . The “Advanced” button will allow you to view
and configure more options of your client card .
2 . Once the “Advanced” button is clicked, the Belkin Wireless LAN Utility
will appear . This Utility will allow you to manage all the advanced
features of the Belkin client card .
3 . Under the “Wireless Network Properties” tab, select a network name
from the “Available Networks” list and click the “Properties” button .
4 . Under “Data Encryption”, select “WEP” .
5 . Ensure the box “The key is provided for me automatically” at the
bottom is unchecked . If you are using this computer to connect to a
corporate network, please consult your network administrator if this
box needs to be checked .
6 . Type your WEP key in the “Network key” box .
IMPoRTaNT:
A WEP key is a combination of numbers and letters
from A–F and 0–7 . For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 keys . This
network key needs to match the key you assign to your G Wireless
Router or access point .
