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:
1 . From the "Security Mode" drop-down menu, select "WPA-PSK" .
2 . For "Encryption Technique", select "TKIP" or "AES" . This setting will
have to be identical on the clients that you set up .
3 . 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" .
4 . Click "Apply Changes" to finish . You must now set all clients to match
these settings .

the G Wireless Router or access point, the clients must also use that
same key .
