WPA2 Requirements
IMPORTANT: In order to use WPA2 security, all your computers and wireless
client adapters must be upgraded with patches, driver, and client utility software
that supported WPA2. At the time of this User Manual's publication, a couple
security patches are available, for free download, from Microsoft®. These
patches work only with the Windows XP operating system. Other operating
systems are not supported at this time.
For Windows XP computers that do not have Service Pack 2 (SP2), a file
from Microsoft called "Windows XP Support Patch for Wireless Protected
Access (KB 826942)" is available for free download at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826942
For Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Microsoft has released a free
download to update the wireless client components to support WPA2
(KB971021). The update is available from:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917021
IMPORTANT: You also need to ensure that all your wireless client
cards/adapters support WPA2, and that you have downloaded and installed the
latest driver. Most of the Belkin wireless cards have driver updates available for
download from the Belkin support site: www.belkin.com/networking.
Setting WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)
Like WPA security, WPA2 is available in WPA2-Personal (PSK) mode. Typically,
WPA2-Personal (PSK) is the mode that will be used in a home environment.
Please refer to the User Manual for more information about wireless security and
different types of wireless security.
1. After you've set up your Router, go to the "Security" page under "Wireless"
and select "WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)" from the "Security Mode" drop-down
menu.
2. For "Authentication", select "WPA-PSK", "WPA2-PSK", or "WPA-PSK +
WPA2-PSK". This setting will have to be identical on the wireless clients that
you set up. "WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK" mode will allow the Router to support
clients running either WPA or WPA2 security.
