Problem:

I am having difficulty setting up Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security on a Belkin Wireless 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

IMPoRTanT:

WPA-PSK is a mixture 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 wireless router

or access point

1

Double-click the “Signal Indicator” icon to bring up the “Wireless

Network” screen

2

The “Advanced” button will allow you to view and configure more

options of the Card

3

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 Wireless Card

4

Under the “Wireless Network Properties” tab, select a

network name from the “Available networks” list and click the

“Properties” button

5

Under “Network Authentication” select “WPA-PSK (no server)

6
