Belkin F5D9630-4 user manual Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

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.

Problem:

I am having difficulty setting up Wireless Protected Access (WPA) security on a Belkin wireless client card for a home network.

Solution:

Clients must use the same key that the Router uses. For instance, if the key is “Smith Family Network Key” in the Router, the clients must also use that same key.

1. Double-click the Signal Indicator icon to bring up the “Wireless Network” screen. The “Advanced” button will allow you to view and configure more options of your card.

2. Once the “Advanced” button is clicked, the Belkin Wireless Utility will appear. This Utility will allow you to manage all the advanced features of the Belkin Wireless 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-PSK (no server).

5. Type your WPA key in the “Network key” box.

Important: WPA-PSK is a mixture of numbers and letters from A-Z and 0-9. For WPA-PSK you can enter eight to 63 characters. This network key needs to match the key you assign to your Router.

6. Click “OK, then “Apply” to save the settings.

I am NOT using a Belkin client card for a home network and I am having difficulty setting up Wireless Protected Access (WPA) security.

Solution:

If you are not using a Belkin Wireless Desktop or Wireless Notebook Network Card that 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. Download the patch from Microsoft by searching the knowledge base for Windows
