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:

Setting WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)

Like WPA security, WPA2 is available in both WPA2-Personal (PSK) mode and WPA2-Enterprise (RADIUS) mode.. Typically, WPA2-Personal (PSK) is the mode that will be used in a home environment, while WPA2- Enterprise (RADIUS) is implemented in a business environment where an external radius server distributes the network key to the clients automatically.. This guide will focus on WPA2-Personal (PSK) usage.. 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..

3..For “Encryption Technique”, select “TKIP”, “AES”, or “TKIP+AES”.. This setting will have to be identical on the wireless clients that you set up..

4..Enter your pre-shared key (PSK).. This can be from eight to 63 characters and can be letters, numbers, or symbols.. This same key must be used on all of the wireless clients that you set up.. For example, your PSK might be something like: “Smith family network key”.. Click “Apply Changes” to finish.. You must now set all wireless clients to match these settings..
