Desktop or Notebook Network Card from the Belkin support site. Other
operating systems are not supported at this time. Microsoft’s patch only

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.
