do belkin products support WPa?
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

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

Wireless 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 .

I am having difficulty setting up Wireless Protected access

(WPa) security on my belkin Router for a home network .
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 .
