Problem:
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 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
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�
