drivers and software that support it� At the time of this User Manual’s
publication, a security patch download is available, for free, from
Microsoft
®
� This patch works only with the Windows XP operating
system� You also need to download the latest driver for your Belkin
Wireless G 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�
WPA uses a so-called pre-shared key as the security key� A pre-shared
key is a password that is between eight and 63 characters long� It can
be a combination of letters, numbers, and other characters� Each client
uses the same key to access the network� Typically, this mode will be
used in a home environment�

encryption technique over WPA�
