I am having difficulty setting up Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security on a
Belkin client card (Wireless Network Card or Adapter) for a business.
Solution:
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".
5. In the "Authentication" tab, select the settings that are indicated by your
network administrator.
6. Click "OK", then "Apply" to save the settings.
Problem:
I am having difficulty setting up Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security, and I
am NOT using a Belkin client card for a home network.
Solution:
If you are NOT using a Belkin WPA Wireless Desktop or Wireless Notebook
Network Card and it is not equipped with WPA-enabled software, a file from
Microsoft called "Windows XP Support Patch for Wireless Protected Access" is
available for free download:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.aspx?displaylang=en
[keep hyperlink since this is on CD]
Note: The file that Microsoft has made available works only with Windows XP.
Other operating systems are not supported at this time. You also need to
ensure that the wireless card manufacturer supports WPA and that you have
downloaded and installed the latest driver from their support site.
Supported Operating Systems:
• Windows XP Professional
• Windows XP Home Edition
