Problem:

I฀am฀having฀difficulty฀setting฀up฀Wi-Fi฀Protected฀Access฀(WPA)฀

security฀on฀a฀Belkin฀Wireless฀Router฀(or฀Belkin฀Access฀Point)฀for฀a฀

home฀network.

Solution:

From฀the฀“Security฀Mode”฀drop-down฀menu,฀select฀“WPA-PSK฀

(no฀server)”.

For฀“Encryption฀Technique”,฀select฀“TKIP”฀or฀“AES”.฀This฀setting฀

will฀have฀to฀be฀identical฀on฀the฀clients฀that฀you฀set฀up.

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”.

Click฀“Apply฀Changes”฀to฀finish.฀You฀must฀now฀set฀all฀clients฀to฀

match฀these฀settings.฀

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.

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.

Once฀the฀“Advanced”฀button฀is฀clicked,฀the฀Belkin฀Wireless฀

Utility฀will฀appear.฀This฀Utility฀will฀allow฀you฀to฀manage฀all฀the฀

advanced฀features฀of฀the฀Belkin฀Wireless฀Card.

Under฀the฀“Wireless฀Network฀Properties”฀tab,฀select฀a฀

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

“Properties”฀button.฀

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

Type฀your฀WPA฀key฀in฀the฀“Network฀key”฀box.
