WPA Setup
Note: To use WPA security, all your clients must be upgraded to drivers

and software that support it� At the time of this User Manual’s publication,

a security patch download is available, for free, from Microsoft

� This

patch works only with the Windows XP operating system� You also need

to download the latest driver for your Belkin Wireless G 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�
WPA uses a so-called pre-shared key as the security key� A pre-shared

key is a password that is between eight and 63 characters long� it can be

a combination of letters, numbers, and other characters� each client uses

the same key to access the network� Typically, this mode will be used in a

home environment�
WPA2 is the second generation of WPA, offering a more advanced

encryption technique over WPA�
