TROUBLESHOOTING
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.
I am having difficulty setting up Wireless Protected Access (WPA)
security on a Belkin wireless client card for a home network.
Clients must use the same key that the Router uses. For instance, if the
key is “Smith Family Network Key” in the Router, the clients must also
use that same key.
1. Double-click the Signal Indicator icon to bring up the “Wireless
Network” screen. The “Advanced” button will allow you to view and
configure more options of your card.
2. Once the “Advanced” button is clicked, the Belkin Wireless Utility
will appear. This Utility will allow you to manage all the advanced
features of the Belkin Wireless Card.
3. Under the “Wireless Network Properties” tab, select a network
name from the “Available Networks” list and click the “Properties”
button.
4. Under “Network Authentication”, select “WPA-PSK (no server).
5. Type your WPA key in the “Network key” box.
Important: WPA-PSK is a mixture of numbers and letters from A-Z and
0-9. For WPA-PSK you can enter eight to 63 characters. This network
key needs to match the key you assign to your Router.
6. Click “OK, then “Apply” to save the settings.
