Problem:
I am having difficulty setting up Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security
and I am NOT using a Belkin Wireless Card for a home network�
Solution:
If you are not using a Belkin Wireless Desktop or Wireless Notebook
Network Card that 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� Download the patch
from Microsoft by searching the knowledge base for Windows XP WPA�

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�

Appendix A: Glossary
IP Address
The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Router� To access the
advanced setup interface, type this IP address into the address bar
of your browser� This address can be changed if needed� To change
the IP address, type in the new IP address and click “Apply Changes”�
The IP address you choose should be a non-routable IP� Examples of a
non-routable IP are:
192�168�x�x (where x is anything between 0 and 255)
10�x�x�x (where x is anything between 0 and 255)
Subnet Mask
Some networks are far too large to allow all traffic to flood all its parts�
These networks must be broken down into smaller, more manageable
sections, called subnets� The subnet mask is the network address plus
the information reserved for identifying the “subnetwork”�
DNS
DNS is an acronym for Domain Name Server� A Domain Name Server
is a server located on the Internet that translates URLs (Universal
Resource Links) like www�belkin�com to IP addresses� Many ISPs do
not require you to enter this information into the Router� If you are using
a static IP connection type, then you may need to enter a specific DNS
address and secondary DNS address for your connection to work
properly� If your connection type is Dynamic or PPPoE, it is likely that
you do not have to enter a DNS address�

PPPoE
Most ADSL providers use PPPoE as the connection type� If you use an
ADSL modem to connect to the Internet, your ISP may use PPPoE to log
you into the service�
Your connection type is PPPoE if:
Your ISP gave you a user name and password which is required to
connect to the Internet�
Your ISP gave you software such as WinPoET or Enternet300 that
you use to connect to the Internet�
You have to double-click on a desktop icon other than your
browser to get on the Internet�
To set the Router to use PPPoE, type in your user name and password
in the spaces provided� After you have typed in your information, click
“Apply Changes”�
After you apply the changes, the “Internet Status” indicator will read
“connection OK” if your Router is set up properly�
PPPoA
Enter the PPPoA information in the provided spaces, and click “Next”�
Click “Apply” to activate your settings�
User name - Enter the user name� (Assigned by your ISP)�
Password - Enter your password� (Assigned by your ISP)�
Retype Password - Confirm the password� (Assigned by your ISP)�
VPI/VCI - Enter your Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit
Identifier (VCI) parameter here� (Assigned by your ISP)�
Disconnect after X±±±
This feature is used to automatically disconnect the Router from your
ISP when there is no activity for a specified period of time� For instance,
placing a check mark next to this option and entering “5” into the minute
field will cause the Router to disconnect from the Internet after five
minutes of no Internet activity�
This option should be used if you pay for your Internet service by
the minute�
