Problem:

Do Belkin products support WPA?

Solution:

You need to download the latest driver for your Belkin 802.11g Wireless
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, F5D7230-4, F5D7231-4, F5D7130, F5D9010,
F5D9050, F5D9230-4

Problem:

I am having difficulty setting up Wireless 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 Wireless Protected Access (WPA)
security on a Belkin wireless client card for a home network.

Solution:

Clients must use the same key that the Wireless Router (or access point)
uses. For instance, if the key is “Smith Family Network Key” in the 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”

screen. The “Advanced” button will allow you to view and configure more
options of your card.
