The Router features WPA2, which is the second generation of the WPA™-
based 802.11i standard. It offers a higher level of wireless security by
combining advanced network authentication and stronger Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) encryption methods.
WPA2 Requirements
IMPORTANT:
In order to use WPA2 security, all your computers and
wireless client adapters must be upgraded with patches, driver, and client
utility software that supported WPA2. At the time of this User Manual’s
publication, a couple security patches are available, for free download,
from Microsoft
®
. These patches work only with the Windows XP operating
system. Other operating systems are not supported at this time.
For Windows XP computers that do not have Service Pack 2 (SP2), a file
from Microsoft called “Windows XP Support Patch for Wireless Protected
Access (KB 826942)” is available for free download at http://support.
microsoft.com/?kbid=826942
For Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Microsoft has released a free
download to update the wireless client components to support WPA2
(KB893357). The update is available from: http://support.microsoft.com/
default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;893357
IMPORTANT: You also need to ensure that all your wireless client cards/
adapters support WPA2, and that you have downloaded and installed
the latest driver. Most of the Belkin wireless cards have driver updates
available for download from the Belkin support site: www.belkin.com/
networking.
