Troubleshooting

Problem:

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

Solution:

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

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.

The “Advanced” button will allow you to view and configure more options of the card.

Once the advanced button is clicked the Belkin Wireless LAN Utility will appear. This Utility will allow you to manage all the advanced features of the Belkin wireless card.

Under the “Wireless Network Properties” tab, select a network name from the “Available networks” list and click the “Properties” button

Under “Network Authentication” select “WPA-PSK (no server) Type your WPA key in the “Network key” box

Important: WPA-PSK is a mixture of numbers and letters from A-

Zand 0-9. For WPA-PSK you can enter 8 to 63 characters. This Network key needs to match the key you assign to your Wireless Router or Access Point.

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