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 FAQ 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 802.11g
Wireless Desktop Network Card 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.

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 (PSK). This can be from eight to 63
characters and can be letters, numbers, or 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.
