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 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/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 driver at:
http://web.belkin.com/support/networkingsupport.asp.
WPA support will also be automatically installed if you upgrade your system
to Windows XP Service pack 2. Detials about this can be found at http://
