do belkin products support WPa?
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
You also need to download the latest driver for your Belkin 802 .11g
Wireless 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 .

I am having difficulty setting up Wireless Protected access
(WPa) security on my belkin Router for a home network .
1 .
From the “Security Mode” drop-down menu, select “WPA-PSK
(no server)” .
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 .
