TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem:
I am having difficulty setting up Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security and I am NOT using a Belkin client card for a home network�
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�
6. Type in your encryption key in the “Network key” box�
Important: Enter your pre-shared key� This can be from eight to 63
characters and can be letters, numbers, or symbols� This same key
must be used on all of the clients that you set up�
7. Click “OK” to apply settings�
Solution:
If you are NOT using a Belkin WPA Wireless Desktop or Wireless Notebook Network Card and it 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:

to ensure that the wireless card manufacturer supports WPA and that you have downloaded and installed the latest driver from their support site�
