Troubleshooting
Problem:
I am having difficulty setting up Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
security on a non-Belkin client card for a home network.
Solution:
For non-Belkin WPA Wireless Desktop and Wireless Notebook
Network Cards that are not equipped with WPA-enabled software, a
file from Microsoft called “Windows XP Support Patch for Wireless
Protected Access” is available for free download:
www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=009d8425-
ce2b-47a4-abcc-2748dc9e91diplaylang=en
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.
Supported Operating Systems:
• Windows XP Professional
• Windows XP Home Edition
Enabling WPA-PSK (no server)
1.
Under Windows XP, click “Start > Control Panel > Network
Connections”.
2.
Right-click on “Wireless Networks” tab will display the following
screen. Ensure the “Use Windows to configure my wireless
network settings” check box is checked.
3.
Under the Wireless Networks tab, click the “Configure” button,
and you will see the following screen.
4.
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.
6.
Type in your encryption key in the “Network Key” box.
Important:
Enter your Pre-Shared key. This can be from 8 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.

Troubleshooting
What’s the difference between 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11a?
Currently there are three levels of wireless networking standards,
which transmit data at very different maximum speeds. Each is
based on the designation 802.11x, so named by the IEEE, the
board that is responsible for certifying networking standards. The
most common wireless networking standard, 802.11b, transmits
information at 11Mbps; 802.11a and 802.11g work at 54Mbps. See
the following chart for more detailed information.
