Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface

Setting Up WPA for a Non-Belkin Wireless Desktop and

Wireless Notebook Cards

For non-Belkin WPA Wireless Desktop and Wireless Notebook
Cards that are not equipped with WPA-enabled software, a file from
Microsoft called “Windows XP Support Patch for Wireless Protected
Access” is available for free download.

Please Note:

The file that Microsoft has made available works only

with Windows XP. Other operating systems are not supported at
this time.

Important:

You also need to ensure that the wireless card

manufacturer supports WPA and that you have downloaded and
installed the latest driver from their support site.

Supported Operating Systems:
• Windows XP Professional
• Windows XP Home Edition
