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.
