Do Belkin products support WPA?
Note:

To use WPA security, all your clients must be upgraded

to drivers and software that support it. At the time of this FAQ
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:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.
You also need to download the latest driver for your Belkin Wireless
802.11g 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

I am having difficulty setting up Wireless Protected Access

(WPA) security on my Belkin Router for a home network.
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.
