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
These steps are not necessary for Windows XP SP3 and above .
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/
