Problem:
I am NOT using a Belkin client card for a home network and I am having
difficulty setting up Wireless Protected Access (WPA) security.
Solution:
If you are not using a Belkin Wireless Desktop or Wireless Notebook Network
Card that is not equipped with WPA-enabled software, a file from Microsoft called
“Windows XP Support Patch for Wireless Protected Access” is available for free
download. Download the patch from Microsoft by searching the knowledge base
for Windows XP WPA.
Note:
The file that Microsoft has made available works only with Windows XP. Other
operating systems are not supported at this time. You also need to ensure that the
wireless card’s manufacturer supports WPA and that you have downloaded and
installed the latest driver from their support site.
Supported Operating Systems:
• Windows XP Professional
• Windows XP Home Edition
1.
Under Windows XP, click “Start > Control Panel > Network Connections”.
2.
Right-click on the “Wireless Networks” tab. Ensure the “Use Windows to
configure my wireless network settings” check box is checked.
3.
Under the “Wireless Networks” tab, click the “Configure” button.

For a home or small business user, select “WPA-PSK” under
“Network Administration”.
Note:
Select WPA (with radius server) if you are using this computer to connect
to a corporate network that supports an authentication server such as a radius
server. Please consult your network administrator for further information.
5.
Select “TKIP” or “AES” under “Date Encryption”. This setting will have to be
identical to the Wireless Router (or access point) that you set up.
