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” .
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 .
Problem:
I am having difficulty setting up Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
security on a Belkin client card (Wireless Network Card or Adapter) for
a home network .
solution:
Clients must use the same key that the G Wireless Router or access
point uses . For instance, if the key is “Smith Family Network Key” in
the G Wireless Router or access point, the clients must also use that
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 “Network Authentication”, select “WPA-PSK” .
5 . Type your WPA key in the “Network key” box .
IMPoRTaNT: WPA-PSK is a combination of numbers and letters
from A-Z and 0-9 . For WPA-PSK, you can enter eight to 63
characters . This network key needs to match the key you assign to
your G Wireless Router or access point .
6 . Click “OK”, then “Apply” to save the settings .
