WPA Setup

Note: To use WPA security, all your clients must be upgraded to drivers
and software that support it� At the time of this User Manual's publication,
a security patch download is available, for free, from Microsoft
patch works only with the Windows XP operating system� You also need
to download the latest driver for your Belkin Wireless G Desktop or
Notebook Network Card from the Belkin support site� Other operating
systems are not supported at this time� Microsoft's patch only supports
devices with WPA-enabled drivers such as Belkin 802�11g products�
WPA uses a so-called pre-shared key as the security key� A pre-shared
key is a password that is between eight and 63 characters long� it can be
a combination of letters, numbers, and other characters� each client uses
the same key to access the network� Typically, this mode will be used in a
home environment�
WPA2 is the second generation of WPA, offering a more advanced
encryption technique over WPA�
