TROUBLESHOOTING
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 G Wireless Router or access
point uses� For instance, if the key is “Smith Family Network Key” in
the G Wireless 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�
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 G Wireless
Router or access point�
6�
Click “OK”, then “Apply” to save the settings�

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�
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:
http://www�microsoft�com/downloads/search�aspx?displaylang=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�
In systems running Windows XP, click “Start > Control Panel >
Network Connections”�
2�
Right-click on the “Wireless Networks” tab� The “Wireless Network
Connection Properties” screen appears� Ensure the “Use Windows
to configure my wireless network settings” box is checked�
3�
Under the “Wireless Networks” tab, click the “Configure” button,
and you will see the client card properties screen�
4�
For a home or small business user, select “WPA-PSK” under
“Network Administration”�
5�
Select “TKIP” or “AES” under “Date Encryption”� This setting will
have to be identical to the G Wireless Router or access point that
you set up�
6�
Type 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�
