WPA-PSK (no server)
This method uses what is known as a Pre-Shared key as the Network
key. A Network key is basically a password that is between eight and
63 characters long. It can be a combination of letters, numbers, or
characters. Each client uses the same Network key to access the network.
Typically, this is the mode that will be used in a home environment.
WPA (with 802.1x radius server)
With this system, a radius server distributes the Network key to the
clients automatically. This is typically found in a business environment.
WPA2
The Router features WPA2, which is the second generation of WPA based
802.11i standard. It offers higher level of wireless security by combining
advanced network authentication and stronger AES encryption method.
WPA2 Requirements
IMPORTANT: In order to use WPA2 security, all your computers and
wireless client adapters must be upgraded with patches, driver, and client
utility software that supported WPA2. At the time of this User Manual’s
publication, a couple security patches are available, for free download,
from Microsoft. These patches work only with the Windows XP operating
system. Other operating systems are not supported at this time.
For Windows XP computer that does not have Service Pack 2 (SP2), a file
from Microsoft called “Windows XP Support Patch for Wireless Protected
Access (KB 826942)” is available for free download at http://support.
microsoft.com/?kbid=826942
For Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Microsoft has released a free
download to update the wireless client components to support WPA2
(KB893357). The update can be download from: http://support.microsoft.
com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;893357
IMPORTANT: You also need to ensure that all your wireless client cards /
adapters support WPA2, and that you have downloaded and installed the
latest driver. Most of the Belkin Wireless cards have update driver available
for download from the Belkin support site: www.belkin.com/networking.
