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 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:

ang=en
You also need to download the latest driver for your Belkin Wireless
G Desktop 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
Download the latest driver at http://web.belkin.com/support
for the following products:
F5D7000, F5D7001, F5D7010, F5D7011, F5D7230-4,
F5D7231-4, F5D7130

Troubleshooting
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. 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.

Problem:
I am having difficulty setting up Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
security on a Belkin client card (Wireless Network Card or Adapter)
for a home network.
Solution:
Clients must use the same key that the Wireless G Router or access
point uses. For instance, if the key is “Smith Family Network Key”
in the Wireless G Router or access point, the clients must also use
that same key.
1.
Double-click the “Signal Indicator” icon to bring up the “Wireless
Network Utility” screen. The “Advanced” button will allow you
to view and configure more options of your client card. The
“Advanced” button will allow you to view and configure more
options of your client card.
2.
Once the “Advanced” button is clicked, the Belkin Wireless LAN
Utility will appear. This Utility will allow you to manage all the
advanced features of the Belkin client 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 combination 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 Wireless G Router or access point.
6.
Click “OK”, then “Apply” to save the 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:
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 manufacturer
supports WPA and that you have downloaded and installed the
latest driver from their support site.
