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:

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 drivers at http://www.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
(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.
